Abstract

enLudii is a system that allows to model and let humans as well as AI agents to play an immense number of board games. These games are represented by a description written in a language taking advantages of ludemes, conceptual units of game elements such the rules, what kind of pieces are used or the board. Despite the proven expressiveness of this language, its code-like structure makes it hard to learn for newcomers. This works is the first part of a global project aiming to the creation of a tool that would allow users to create any game that can be represented in Ludii through a graphical mean, without writing a single line of code. As it is only the first part, this thesis will focus on the creation of graphical user interface that can create the board and the setup of a game.
