GDL

GDL, or Game Description Language, is a specialized way of formally representing the rules and structure of a game, enabling computers to understand and analyze it. Think of it as a precise blueprint that defines how the game starts, the possible moves, and how outcomes are determined. By using GDL, developers can create programs that can learn, simulate, and strategize across many different games—like chess or go—without writing new code for each. This flexibility makes it a powerful tool in artificial intelligence research focused on game understanding and automated decision-making.
