Study Notes

Game Types

Stochastic games involve uncertain outcomes or random events that affect gameplay.
Partial games are games where not all players have complete knowledge of the game state.

Differences between Stochastic and Partial Games

Stochastic games focus on the uncertainty of outcomes, whereas partial games focus on the limitation of player knowledge.
In stochastic games, all players have complete knowledge of the game state, but outcomes are uncertain. In partial games, outcomes may be certain, but not all players have complete knowledge of the game state.
