An Hackable Games' Engine

Welcome to the HackaGames documentation.

HackaGames is an open game engine dedicated to the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) based on Combinatorial Optimization (CO) technique. The philosophy of hackagames is to permit developers to easily work in any language of thier choice. For that, the project is based on a communication protocol relying on ZeroMQ and is developed accordingly to KISS (Keep It Stupid Simple) principle. The main feature of this project is to permit the game, players and AIs to work on their own process potentially distributed over different machines. In other terms, HackaGames implements a simple client/server architecture to permit AI to take a seat on a game by agreeing on a communication protocol.

HackaGames is seen as an API for game development. Several games are proposed for example:

• Py421: A very simple one player dice game to get the concept of AI implementation.

The project itself and it source code are available on github.
