Who's Got Game
Many people play strategy games against computer opponents, but don’t have a clear understanding of how they function. Building your own Deep Blue is a formidable challenge, but is perhaps a good way to learn the computer science and mathematics of decision making. Since most people aren’t computer scientists, they will need a way to describe game strategies so they can be executed by a computer they can play against. This proposal describes a graphic toolkit for designing strategy-games and computer opponents, tailored to support learning artificial intelligence techniques for deciding which next moves are better than others. The toolkit development is complemented by a study of how people articulate their strategies and modify them after seeing their effect on game play.
