	computer strategy game (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Strategy games are typically board games or video games with the players' decision-making skills having a high significance in determining the outcome.
		Abstract games cannot be cleanly divided from simulations and so games can be thought of as existing on a continuum of almost pure abstraction (like Abalone) to almost pure simulation (like Strat-o-matic Baseball).
		Usually applied only to certain computer strategy games, this indicates that the action in the game is continuous, and players will have to make their decisions and actions within the backdrop of a constantly changing game state.

	Strategy game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Strategy games are typically board games, video or computer games with the players' decision-making skills having a high significance in determining the outcome.
		In abstract strategy games, the game is only loosely tied to a real-world theme, if at all.
		Usually applied only to certain computer strategy games, the moniker "real-time strategy" indicates that the action in the game is continuous, and players will have to make their decisions and actions within the backdrop of a constantly changing game state.

		Enginuity Games A game of luck and strategy where the object is to make as many 3-in-a-rows as possible in any direction.

		Abstract terms, Those which express abstract ideas, as beauty, whiteness, roundness, without regarding any object in which they exist; or abstract terms are the names of orders, genera or species of things, in which there is a combination of similar qualities.

	Defining the Abstract
		The word "abstract" is used because such games usually are presented with no theme, or in which the theme is not important to the experience of playing.
		A good abstract game can therefore be thought of as a "family" of potentially interesting logic puzzles, and the play consists of each player posing such a puzzle to the other.
		The design of a good abstract game must therefore allow an inexhaustible supply of interesting puzzles to be discovered in the possible positions of its board.

		The "strategy" part of the design captures the "variant" nature of the design where the particular actions are chosen dynamically in the run time.
		The strategy section consists of an abstract strategy class and a series of concrete strategy subclasses.
		For identifying a strategy pattern in a design in order that it can be applied, it is necessary to first identify if an algorithm exists, and then see whether the algorithm can be logically separated from the class, which is intended to use it.

		For a given class graph, an abstract strategy is mapped into a concrete strategy which defines a path set.
		We say that a concrete strategy C is compatible with respect to an abstract strategy A, if for C, viewed as a class graph, Pathset(C,A) is non-empty.
		His implementation is also available as a program which takes as input a strategy graph and a class dictionary and it produces as output the class dictionary selected by the strategy.

		Hex is an abstract board game that has fascinated mathematicians with its beauty and surprising difficulty since it was first invented over half a century ago.
		The study of Hex strategy is an attempt to reduce this complexity to a manageable level and tame the game's branching factor by pruning suboptimal choices from the game tree.
		It is regular and hence uniform in distribution, is the regular tiling with the greatest number of neighbors and hence connective potential and scope for strategy, and does not allow deadlocks to occur.

		The abstract strategy graph represents all possible class graphs which may be used, without talking about parts.
		The abstract strategy graph can also be viewed as the integration of all strategy graph types used in the adaptive program.
		An adaptive program is best written in terms of an abstract strategy graph (a strategy "type") which describes the important connections which must exist in a class graph used to instantiate the program.

		The separation of the variant and invariant behaviors of a system: Encapsulate the invariant into an object and abstract the variant into an abstract hierarchy tree.
		Strategies give us the ability to modify the behavior dynamically, that is, during the execution of the program.
		The strategy pattern eliminated the subclasses of Ball and replaced it with smaller, simpler subclasses of AStrategy that encapsulate only the differences between the behaviors of different types of Balls.

		We propose an abstract strategy which is parametrized by three mathematical functions called definition-folding, selection, and replacement.
		Once these three functions are supplied, our abstract strategy becomes a concrete one which can be used during program development for driving the application of the Definition, Folding, Unfolding, and Goal Replacement Rules.
		We also show through some examples that many program derivation strategies described in the literature, such as the methodology for eliminating unnecessary variables, the tupling strategy, the partial deduction techniques, and the promotion strategy, can be viewed as particular instances of our abstract strategy.

	Simon Dyck Seng 609.04 Strategy Pattern Summary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		As above, when Strategies implementations are mixed in with the algorithms of the context or of the client, it frequently means the use of conditional "ladders" or switch statements to make use of different strategies. When such structures exist, it is often a sign that Strategy is in need.
		The GoF text says that the client will need to know how Strategies differ before it can choose amongst them. This knowledge will expose them to implementation details that may not be relevant to their own purpose. This implies that the pattern should only be used when these differences are relevant to the client.
		Use Strategies as template arguments to support different kinds of memory allocation strategies. The strategy is passed as a template argument when a collection class is instantiated.

		The abstract strategy graph may contain edges that represent "shortcuts" in the strategy graph, for example -> Program AlternationClass is such an edge.
		Note that in one case the abstract strategy is longer than the concrete one since the abstract adaptive program assumes certain classes between source and target.
		In this example, the abstract strategies coincide with the concrete ones.

		In my opinion, this is partly because "abstract strategy game" has become a prestige title applied to all sorts of games that really don't qualify, no matter how good they are on their own merits.
		Other criteria that are usually applied are that abstract strategy games are for two players only (thus avoiding petty diplomacy) and that the players must alternate turns.
		Defining the Abstract.) I believe another criterion that is usually applied is that an abstract strategy game is zero-sum, that is, what one player gains, the other loses; usually there is a single winner and a single loser.
