GDL Programs

GDL (Game Description Language) programs are a formal way to define the rules and structure of a game for computational reasoning. Think of it as a precise recipe that describes how a game is played, including possible moves, game states, and how to determine winners. These programs are used in automated game-playing systems to enable a computer to understand and analyze different games, from chess to puzzles, without being specifically programmed for each one. By formalizing rules in GDL, machines can systematically explore strategies and make decisions, allowing for flexible and intelligent gameplay across diverse game types.
