The GBG Class Interface Tutorial V2.3 : (General Board Game Playing and Learning)

This technical report introduces GBG, the general board game playing and learning framework. It is a tutorial that describes the set of interfaces, abstract and non-abstract classes which help to standardize and implement those parts of board game playing and learning that otherwise would be tedious and repetitive parts in coding. GBG is suitable for arbitrary 1-player, 2-player and N-player board games. It provides a set of agents (AI’s) which can be applied to any such game. This document describes the main classes and design principles in GBG.
