FLUXPLAYER is a system for General Game Playing (GGP). GGP is the art of designing programs that are capable of playing previously unknown games of a wide variety by being told nothing but the rules of the game. This is in contrast to traditional computer game players like Deep Blue, which are designed for a particular game and can't adapt automatically to modifications of the rules, let alone play completely different games. General Game Playing is intended to foster the development of integrated cognitive information processing technology.

FLUXPLAYER is the current World Champion after having won the 2nd International General Game Playing Competition at AAAI-06 in Boston.
