COMMONS GAME Made More Exciting by an Intelligent Utilization of the Two Evolutionary Algorithms

  • Chapter
Advanced Intelligent Paradigms in Computer Games

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 71))

In this paper, we suggest that Evolutionary Algorithms could be utilized in order to let the COMMONS GAME, one of the most popular environmental games, become much more exciting. In order to attain this objective, we utilize Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms to generate various skilled players. Further, we suggest that Evolutionary Programming could be utilized to find out an appropriate point of each card at the COMMONS GAME. Several game playings utilizing the new rule of the COMMONS GAME confirm the effectiveness of our approach.
