Hundreds of millions of people play computer games every day. For them, game content—
from 3D objects to abstract puzzles—plays a major entertainment role. Manual labor has so …

Procedural content generation (PCG) is an increasingly important area of technology within
modern human-computer interaction (HCI) design. Personalization of user experience via …

One of the main costs of developing a videogame is content creation. Procedural Content
Generation (PCG) can help alleviate that cost by algorithmically generating some of the …

Player modeling is the study of computational models of players in games. This includes the
detection, modeling, prediction and expression of human player characteristics which are …

In computer games and simulations, content is often rather static and rigid. As a result, its
prescripted nature can lead to predictable and impersonal gameplay, while alienating …

Levels are a key component of many different video games, and a large body of work has
been produced on how to procedurally generate game levels. Recently, Machine Learning …

This paper presents a reliable and efficient approach to procedurally generating level maps
based on the self-organization capabilities of cellular automata (CA). A simple CA-based …

This chapter discusses the challenges and opportunities of procedural content generation
(PCG) in games. It starts with defining three grand goals of PCG, namely multi-level …
