I completely disagree. If it is a game, it absolutely falls under the confines of AI. If you were to create a ludo game, of course, you would also add the expected Human Vs CPU mode; that, my brother involves serious AI. [B]No one on NL can do that[/B]. Well, unless of course, they create a dumb AI that always makes an unintelligent move. Given the fact that Ludo is not deterministic, the decision tree would be larger than most deterministic games.

What you and sirlekoso are talking about is not AI, it is simply the game play rules. That is easy and any [i]i[/i]diot can pull that off.

NOT SO FAST!. Few weeks ago I was working on an AI for a GENERIC 4-in-a-row game. Trust me, its the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. I think Ludo(can't even play the game) would be nothing compared to that for me. Oh and yeah I succeeded, 40% thanks to TAOCP.

Need algorithm for ludo? Na Maggi wey dem go just hand over to yo because you ask for am?

well, this is a nice project topic for an undergraduate course

i must confess, we've got some intelligent guys here. An algorithm for ludo is not just another algorithm. Its going to be pretty complex( even without AI ). ARRAY will be good 4 this.
