Abstract / Summary

This paper proposes a model for designing games around
Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI-based games put AI in the
foreground of the player experience rather than in a supporting
role as is often the case in many commercial games. We analyze
the use of AI in a number of existing games and identify design
patterns for AI in games. We propose a generative ideation
technique to combine a design pattern with an AI technique or
capacity to make new AI-based games. Finally, we demonstrate
this technique through two examples of AI-based game prototypes
created using these patterns.
