The ICGA Journal provides an international forum for computer games researchers presenting new results on ongoing work. The editors invite contributors to submit papers on all aspects of research related to computers and games. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to: 

 
(1) the current state of game-playing programs for classic and modern board and card games
(2) the current state of virtual, casual and video games
(3) new theoretical developments in game-related research, and
(4) general scientific contributions produced by the study of games.

Also welcome is research on topics such as:
(5) social aspects of computer games
(6) cognitive research of how humans play games
(7) capture and analysis of game data, and
(8) issues related to networked games are invited to submit their contributions.

Solving Fred Horn’s “Gloop” puzzle

Authors: Browne, Cameron

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: The Gloop tile set represents all unique ways in which non-intersecting paths can be drawn within a square tile with two terminal points per side, and the Gloop puzzle game consists of a number of challenges to be attempted with this tile set. This paper describes the computer-based analysis of the key Gloop challenges, including the computer-assisted solution of the most difficult challenge – whether all tiles can be packed into a rectangle to form a single continuous contour – which had stood for over a decade. The resulting proof allows a simple arithmetic for the analysis of Gloop tiles, on … Show more

Improved simulation adjusting

Authors: Araki, Nobuo | Hoki, Kunihito | Takahashi, Satoshi | Muramatsu, Masakazu

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: This paper extends simulation adjusting that optimizes parameters in a policy function so that the Monte-Carlo method produces correct moves, and gives a firm theoretical basis for simulation adjusting. Preliminary experiments show that improved simulation adjusting is capable of adjusting 28 parameters of the policy function in a Go program.
