game

Definition

A task with explicit rules and an unambiguous win condition. Games became the standard proving ground for reinforcement learning and search because states, actions, and rewards are all well defined and millions of trials can be run without human involvement. That same property bounds what the results transfer to: real problems rarely arrive with a stated objective or a reset button.
