Title: Predictive Physics Simulation in Game Mechanics
Authors: Perttu Hämäläinen, Xiaoxiao Ma, Jari Takatalo, Julian Togelius

This paper explores using innovations with software and increasing technology and how to apply them to games as a game mechanic. This specifically targeted the increased ability of computers to process physics simulations as a predictive measure for the player to interact with. In the simplest explanation it can break down fast paced physics-based actions into a turn by turn type game or simulation.
