Scenario Generation for a 2D Videogame using Logic Programming
The goal of this project is building a declarative tool for the creation and manipulation of scenarios and maps in the videogame FreeCiv, a turn-based strategy game between multiple players that it is played on a two-dimensional grid map.
The ultimate purpose is to achive, as far as posible, that the generation of scenarios is guided by a set of rules, expressed as constraints in logic programming, in such a way that the user can vary sustantially the configuration of the scenarios obtained in according to the representation of the problem in terms of a logical program. Given its suitability for problem solving, the logical programming paradigm to be used is Answer Set Programming.
