General Board Geometry

Cameron Browne, Éric Piette, Matthew Stephenson, Dennis J. N. J. Soemers

Abstract: Game boards are described in the Ludii general game system by their underlying graphs, based on tiling, shape and graph operators, with the automatic detection of important properties such as topological relationships between graph elements, directions and radial step sequences. This approach allows most conceivable game boards to be described simply and succinctly.
