  Abstract

Nowadays, research in artificial intelligence has widely grown in areas such as knowledge representation, goal-directed behaviour and knowledge reusability, all of them directly relevant to improving intelligent agents in computer games. In a particular way, we focus on the development of a novel algorithm that allow an agent to combine fundamental theories such as reasoning, learning and simulation. This algorithm combines a system of logical rules and a simulation mechanism based on learning that makes our agent has an infallible mechanism for decision-making into the game “connect four”. The logic system is developed in a modelling language known as Answer Set Programming or A–Prolog. This paradigm is the integration of two well-known languages, namely Prolog and ASP
