Mathlib.SetTheory.Game.State

Games described via "the state of the board". #

We provide a simple mechanism for constructing combinatorial (pre-)games, by describing "the state of the board", and providing an upper bound on the number of turns remaining.

Implementation notes #

We're very careful to produce a computable definition, so small games can be evaluated using decide. To achieve this, I've had to rely solely on induction on natural numbers: relying on general well-foundedness seems to be poisonous to computation?

See SetTheory/Game/Domineering for an example using this construction.

SetTheory.PGame.State S describes how to interpret s : S as a state of a combinatorial game. Use SetTheory.PGame.ofState s or SetTheory.Game.ofState s to construct the game.

SetTheory.PGame.State.l : S → Finset S and SetTheory.PGame.State.r : S → Finset S describe the states reachable by a move by Left or Right. SetTheory.PGame.State.turnBound : S → ℕ gives an upper bound on the number of possible turns remaining from this state.
