Grammar-based Game Description Generation using Large Language Models

Tsunehiko Tanaka, Edgar Simo-Serra

Game Description Language (GDL) provides a standardized way to express diverse games in a machine-readable format, enabling automated game simulation, and evaluation. While previous research has explored game description generation using search-based methods, generating GDL descriptions from natural language remains a challenging task. This paper presents a novel framework that leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate grammatically accurate game descriptions from natural language. Our approach consists of two stages: first, we gradually generate a minimal grammar based on GDL specifications; second, we iteratively improve the game description through grammar-guided generation. Our framework employs a specialized parser that identifies valid subsequences and candidate symbols from LLM responses, enabling gradual refinement of the output to ensure grammatical correctness. Experimental results demonstrate that our iterative improvement approach significantly outperforms baseline methods that directly use LLM outputs.
