Description
A Puzzling Present is a Christmassy puzzle platformer with an unusual twist - all of its levels were designed by a computer program! Explore dozens of levels across multiple worlds, use a variety of clever powers to solve each one, and help the game-designing AI ANGELINA improve its skills by rating each puzzle as you solve it.History
A Puzzling Present has been made as part of the ANGELINA project - a PhD research effort by Michael Cook, working out of Imperial College's Computational Creativity Group. ANGELINA is an artificial intelligence program being used to investigate new techniques for automating game design, and each level in A Puzzling Present has been designed by the software, right down to the mechanics you use to solve the level! Since its inception in late 2010, ANGELINA has created arcade games, Metroidvania-style platformers, and news-inspired videogames. A Puzzling Present is the largest game to have featured content by ANGELINA to date.Notice: Undefined variable: histories in /home/finalsin/angelina.sekritforum.com/press/sheet.php on line 428
