Procedural Content Generation of Puzzle Games using Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks

In this article, we present an experimental approach to using parameterized Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to produce levels for the puzzle game Lily’s Garden1. We extract two condition-vectors from the real levels in an effort to control the details of the GAN’s outputs. While the GANs performs well in approximating the first condition (map-shape), they struggle to approximate the second condition (piece distribution). We hypothesize that this might be improved by trying out alternative architectures for both the Generator and Discriminator of the GANs.
