Abstract :
This paper proposes a new paradigm for the generation of game worlds using principles from the science of complexity. It argues that through the emergence of complex phenomena from simple interactions and building blocks, game worlds capable of surprise and of showing creative behavior may be evolved. A conceptual model incorporating these principles is described and BitBang, a software framework implementing this model, is presented. Usage examples are given and implications for game design are addressed
