Automatic game design

Pretty interesting read. There are a lot of implicit limitations (basically he is constructing an environment for a pacman-like game and then evolving the rules), but it's still pretty awesome stuff.

Agreed on the interest, but also agreed on the simplistic.

It would be a lot more interesting to encode all possible interactions between pairs of objects and reactions to input, and then make that be chosen "automatically" too. This would probably just explode the search space though.

Also, in his profile, I saw he liked hip hop
Then this was under favourite music:

Anything with a steady beat and preferably a complete idiot singing or rapping incomprehensibly over it.

:D
