# RBG — Regular Boardgames
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`checked` that it exists and is benchmarked against Ludii; everything else
|
||
|
|
`unverified`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## What it optimises for
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A game description language with **efficient reasoning** as the explicit
|
||
|
|
goal — the speed axis of the GDL/Ludii tradeoff.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How a game is defined
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A regular-language-based description. `unverified` in detail.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## What it can analyse
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`open`. Its published framing is reasoning efficiency, not design support.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Relevance to clay-borg
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Track A, as the third point on the description-language axis** —
|
||
|
|
GDL (expressive, slow), Ludii (concise, fast, ludeme-structured), RBG
|
||
|
|
(speed-first).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Ludii is reported to describe hidden information and non-deterministic
|
||
|
|
games with less restriction on the board than RBG.** `checked` — which
|
||
|
|
matters directly, because GROUND is both hidden-information and
|
||
|
|
non-deterministic.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## What to steal / avoid
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`open` — not enough read to say.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Open questions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Everything past the comparison paper. This profile exists so the option
|
||
|
|
is not forgotten, not because we have evaluated it.
