In this thesis we used genetic algorithms as a core gameplay mechanic for games. We created a flexible genetic algorithms framework that allowed us to iterate quickly through various designs and prototypes of games. We developed two iterations of fighting robots game and a racing game that used our framework to implement genetic algorithms. Playtesting showed that such a sophisticated game mechanic like this one can be fun and appealing to players.
