AI engine licensing and contract gamedevelopment:

We have licensed Go and Chess playing engines.
Other AI engines we have developed include Bridge, Othello, Checkers, Arimaa, Domineering, World War Chess, and a real time, multiplayer space battle game with intelligent aliens.
We do contract software development for Artifical Intelligence game engines. Since we already have working code for many games, developing new engines can be fast and inexpensive.
