The contrast of emotions while writing (left) and after completing (right) the 530 pages of the 2nd Edition of our AI and Games textbook. Julian Togelius and I finally got a copy of the book soon before we kick-start the AI and Games School 2025. Get your own copy here: lnkd.in/dZbGCnyc

New paper! We are trying to find out how well LLMs can generate functional and novel games in the PuzzleScript game description language, especially when combined with automated playthrough based on search. This is part of our work to create new types of game design assistants.
