Games are a well-known test bed for testing search algorithms and learning methods, and many authors have presented numerous reasons for the research in this area. Nevertheless, they have not received the attention they deserve as software projects.
In this paper, we analyze the applicability of software
and knowledge reuse in the games domain. In spite of the
need to find a good evaluation function, search algorithms
and interface design can be said to be the primary concerns.
In addition, we will discuss the current state of the main
statistical learning methods and how they can be addressed
from a software engineering point of view. So, this paper
proposes a reliable environment and adequate tools, necessary in order to achieve high levels of reuse in the games domain
