It can be either developed for serious purposes (e.g. AGI development in AI games), or to make games for interesting for humans.
The Quora question: www.quora.com/Are-there-any-PhD-programs-in-training-an-AI-system-to-play-computer-games-Like-the-work-DeepMind-do-combining-Reinforcement-Learning-with-Deep-Learning-so-the-AI-can-play-Atari-games
A good way to find labs is to go down the issues section of projects such as:and then stalk them to see where they are doing their PhDs.

TODO quick summary of game rules? Perhaps: battlecode.org/assets/files/battlecode-guide-xsquare.pdf
Some mechanics:
- inter agent communication
- compute power is limited by limiting Java bytecode count execution per bot per cycle
Ah, shame, they are a bit weak.
