  • Algorithmic Combinatorial Game Theory∗

    Algorithmic Combinatorial Game Theory∗

    Playing Games with Algorithms: Algorithmic Combinatorial Game Theory∗ Erik D. Demaine† Robert A. Hearn‡ Abstract Combinatorial games lead to several interesting, clean problems in algorithms and complexity theory, many of which remain open. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the area to encourage further research. In particular, we begin with general background in Combinatorial Game Theory, which analyzes ideal play in perfect-information games, and Constraint Logic, which provides a framework for showing hardness. Then we survey results about the complexity of determining ideal play in these games, and the related problems of solving puzzles, in terms of both polynomial-time algorithms and computational intractability results. Our review of background and survey of algorithmic results are by no means complete, but should serve as a useful primer. 1 Introduction Many classic games are known to be computationally intractable (assuming P 6= NP): one-player puzzles are often NP-complete (as in Minesweeper) or PSPACE-complete (as in Rush Hour), and two-player games are often PSPACE-complete (as in Othello) or EXPTIME-complete (as in Check- ers, Chess, and Go). Surprisingly, many seemingly simple puzzles and games are also hard. Other results are positive, proving that some games can be played optimally in polynomial time. In some cases, particularly with one-player puzzles, the computationally tractable games are still interesting for humans to play. We begin by reviewing some basics of Combinatorial Game Theory in Section 2, which gives tools for designing algorithms, followed by reviewing the relatively new theory of Constraint Logic in Section 3, which gives tools for proving hardness.

    Jigsaw Puzzles, Edge Matching, and Polyomino Packing: Connections and Complexity∗

    Jigsaw Puzzles, Edge Matching, and Polyomino Packing: Connections and Complexity∗ Erik D. Demaine, Martin L. Demaine MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 32 Vassar St., Cambridge, MA 02139, USA, {edemaine,mdemaine}@mit.edu Dedicated to Jin Akiyama in honor of his 60th birthday. Abstract. We show that jigsaw puzzles, edge-matching puzzles, and polyomino packing puzzles are all NP-complete. Furthermore, we show direct equivalences between these three types of puzzles: any puzzle of one type can be converted into an equivalent puzzle of any other type. 1. Introduction Jigsaw puzzles [37,38] are perhaps the most popular form of puzzle. The original jigsaw puzzles of the 1760s were cut from wood sheets using a hand woodworking tool called a jig saw, which is where the puzzles get their name. The images on the puzzles were European maps, and the jigsaw puzzles were used as educational toys, an idea still used in some schools today. Handmade wooden jigsaw puzzles for adults took off around 1900. Today, jigsaw puzzles are usually cut from cardboard with a die, a technology that became practical in the 1930s. Nonetheless, true addicts can still find craftsmen who hand-make wooden jigsaw puzzles. Most jigsaw puzzles have a guiding image and each side of a piece has only one “mate”, although a few harder variations have blank pieces and/or pieces with ambiguous mates. Edge-matching puzzles [21] are another popular puzzle with a similar spirit to jigsaw puzzles, first appearing in the 1890s. In an edge-matching puzzle, the goal is to arrange a given collection of several identically shaped but differently patterned tiles (typically squares) so that the patterns match up along the edges of adjacent tiles.

  • The 3D Jigsaw Puzzle: Mapping Large Indoor Spaces

    The 3D Jigsaw Puzzle: Mapping Large Indoor Spaces

    The 3D jigsaw puzzle: mapping large indoor spaces Ricardo Martin-Brualla1, Yanling He1, Bryan C. Russell2, and Steven M. Seitz1 1University of Washington 2Intel Abstract. We introduce an approach for analyzing annotated maps of a site, together with Internet photos, to reconstruct large indoor spaces of famous tourist sites. While current 3D reconstruction algorithms often produce a set of disconnected components (3D pieces) for indoor scenes due to scene coverage or matching failures, we make use of a provided map to lay out the 3D pieces in a global coordinate system. Our approach leverages position, orientation, and shape cues extracted from the map and 3D pieces and optimizes a global objective to recover the global layout of the pieces. We introduce a novel crowd flow cue that measures how people move across the site to recover 3D geometry orientation. We show compelling results on major tourist sites. Keywords: Indoor scene reconstruction, maps, 3D jigsaw puzzle. 1 Introduction Recent breakthroughs in computer vision now allow us to model our world in 3D with extraordinary accuracy and visual fidelity from just about any set of overlapping photos [1{3]. However, a limitation of state-of-the-art 3D reconstruc- tion techniques from Internet photos is that large scenes tend to break up into a collection of disconnected pieces due to gaps in the depicted scene coverage or matching failures. Rather than a single, fully-connected Vatican model, for instance, we get a collection of smaller 3D pieces for different rooms, such as the Sistine Chapel, the Raphael Rooms, and the Hall of Maps, each having their own 3D coordinate system.

Build on your knowledge of the neighborhood and surrounding community with this specially commissioned Delorme map jigsaw puzzle. Starting with familiar areas, discover and explore new places around your house and hometown. To help get you started, the centrepiece is shaped like a house and is centered on your home! We have deliberately resisted the temptation to include a traditional guide print in the hope that it adds to the challenging fun and makes your jigsaw journey even more rewarding. Your puzzle is individually created from the Delorme North American Topographical map base, which is the most suitable and up to date mapping available to allow us to offer you the best image for your puzzle. Delorme’s latest ground-breaking dataset adds for the first time a subtle hill shading to the contours thus enhancing the mapping with a 3D relief effect. Combine this with over 30 years’ experience of market leading cartography and the result is a fantastic modern & accurate map base. We harness this imagery with a custom-built geolocation tool that allows us to place your chosen address in the centre of your jigsaw. Did you know the first ever jigsaw puzzles were the invention of an Englishman, John Spilsbury, during the late 18th century? Based in London and trained as an apprentice engraver & map maker at the court of King George III, Spilsbury went on to create map-based jigsaws – called ‘dissected maps’ – to help students learn geography.

Ice Breaker: Knee to Knee -- A Get Acquainted Activity Directions: Line up two rows (previous ambassadors in one row, new ambassadors facing them) of chairs or stand, facing each other. Participants sit in the chair so they are “knee to knee” with a partner (actually about 1 foot apart). Leader explains this is a get acquainted activity. Participants will introduce themselves to each other and then answer the question you ask. Each person has approximately 1 minute to answer the question. (I usually direct them to shake hands and introduce themselves because I think shaking hands is a nice way to connect and is also a life skill.) When time is up, ask participants to stand up and move X seats to the left (or right).
