Zero-player game
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A zero-player game is a game that has no sentient players.
In computer games, the term refers to programs that use artificial intelligence rather than human players.[1]
Conway's Game of Life, a cellular automaton devised in 1970 by the British mathematician John Horton Conway, is considered a zero-player game because its evolution is determined by its initial state, requiring no further input from humans.[2][3] In addition, Some fighting and real-time strategy games can be put into zero-player mode by placing one AI against another.
