In recent decades, computer games and interactive entertainment have become a major branch of the computer industry. In parallel, research in these areas has received increasing attention. The GIDY group at York is focused on the application of a wide range of Artificial Intelligence Techniques to support game play and the development of computer games and interactive entertainment systems. Innovative projects in our group range from interactive story generation and drama to data mining of game traces for commentary generation.

The group consists of dynamic researchers who are passionate about games within and outside of academia.
