Abstract
We describe ANGELINA-5, software capable of creat- ing simple three-dimensional games autonomously. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first system which creates complete games in 3D. We summarise the his- tory of the ANGELINA project so far, describe the ar- chitecture of the latest version, and give details of its participation in Ludum Dare, a game design competi- tion. This is the first time that a piece of software has en- tered a videogame design contest for human designers, and represents a step forward for automated videogame design and computational creativity.
