Talk:Video game

Semi-protected edit request on 20 October 2025

{{subst:trim|1=

I suggest adding a line in the section on 'Game AI' or 'Tools' which discusses the growing use of third-party heuristic solvers for block-based puzzle games.

The text I propose to add is: 'Heuristic algorithms are now commonly used in external analysis tools to determine optimal move sequences in complex tile-matching games, significantly impacting competitive play.'

I have a detailed, non-commercial analysis of this topic on my site which can serve as a suitable reference.

Asceno, your AfC for Medieval was not accepted. Out of all images available, images from an upcoming game that doesn't meet notability guidelines at this time are not worthy of inclusion. In case you might be part of Medieval, note that Wikipedia cannot be used for WP:PROMOTIONal purposes. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 21:46, 26 April 2026 (UTC)

The Screenshots are fully in scope for Wikipedia for educational purposes, as there is currently lack of high quality CC BY video game screenshots with VRT approval. These screenshots are currently "one of it's kind" to illustrate various game mechanics and game features in current era games.

Note: It is clear that game screenshots are not from notable game. I am not asking for AfC request for this game. Asceno (talk) 13:42, 28 April 2026 (UTC)
