Cookie Clicker is a popular online incremental game where the goal of the game is to generate as many cookies as possible. In the game you start with an initial cookie generation r…
Computational Complexity of Motion Planning of a Robot through Simple Gadgets
Erik D. Demaine, Isaac Grosof, Jayson Lynch +1
We initiate a general theory for analyzing the complexity of motion planning of a single robot through a graph of "gadgets", each with their own state, set of locations, and allowe…
Who witnesses The Witness? Finding witnesses in The Witness is hard and sometimes impossible
Zachary Abel, Jeffrey Bosboom, Michael Coulombe +7
We analyze the computational complexity of the many types of pencil-and-paper-style puzzles featured in the 2016 puzzle video game The Witness. In all puzzles, the goal is to draw…
Computational Complexity of Generalized Push Fight
Jeffrey Bosboom, Erik D. Demaine, Mikhail Rudoy
We analyze the computational complexity of optimally playing the two-player board game Push Fight, generalized to an arbitrary board and number of pieces. We prove that the game is…
