General Game Playing
Most successful game-playing programs, such as the famous chess-playing program Deep Blue, are highly engineered to play a specific game. The challenge of General Game Playing is creating programs that can play new, previously unseen games mainly by analyzing the rules and possibly through small amounts of practice.
