Ludax currently supports a wide range of two-player, perfect-information board games played by placing pieces (with more mechanics on the way!)

The resulting environments can run at over 10 million steps per second on a single NVIDIA 4090 GPU

Excited to introduce the first version of Ludax, a domain-specific language for board games that compiles directly into JAX code!

Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2506.22609
Code: github.com/gdrtodd/ludax

Work led by NYU's Graham Todd (not on bluesky).
