fog of war hiding of some of the features (most often units and new buildings) for places where
a player does not have units in range of sight.. 14, 31, 35, 58, 59, 64, 96, 199
FPS First Person Shooter: egocentric shooter game, strong sub-genres are fast FPS, also called
“Quake-likes”, e.g. Quake III; and team/tactical FPS, e.g. Counter-Strike, Team Fortress
2. 14, 30, 35, 36, 42, 89
FSM finite state machine. 16, 28, 77, 119, 158, 159
gameplay describes the interactive aspects of game design, which constraints the players possible
behaviors and the players’ goals in a given game. Also, the category/type of the game..
13, 14, 26, 57, 58, 89
gamification the use of game mechanics and game design to enhance non-game contexts. 15
gas also called vespene, short for vespene gas. Advanced resource in StarCraft, use for all
advanced units, technological buildings, upgrades and researches. It can be harvested only
once an assimilator/refinery/extractor has been built on the gas geyser and maximally fast
with 3 workers only at the closest (standard) distance to the resource depot.. 57, 59, 60,

GMM Gaussian mixture model, a generative model in which observations are the outcomes of
mixtures of normal distribution.. 123, 124, 172
goban board used for the game of Go. 21
HFSM hierarchical finite state machine. 16, 79
HMM Hidden Markov Model, a dynamic Bayesian network estimating hidden states following
a Markov process from observations. 42, 120
HTN hierarchical task network. 16, 28, 120
Left 4 Dead a teamplay (cooperative vs AI) survival horror FPS in which players have to fight
and escape zombie hordes. 15
match-up the pairing of two factions in StarCraft for a match in the form XvY, with X and
Y being factions. When we consider only one race’s strategy, it should be in front. For
instance, PvT is the Protoss versus Terran match-up, with Protoss being studied if the
features are not symmetric.. 122, 124, 126, 133, 140, 144, 145, 152
max supply also total supply, maximum number of units that a player can control at a given
time, can be increased up to a hard limit (200 in StarCraft).. 59, 60, 100, 165
