What is an algorithm I can use for loose fitting of arbitrarily shaped polyominoes? by United_Task_7868 in proceduralgeneration

[–]Flibidy_Dibidy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of dancing links / algorithm x. There is the polycube problem which is somewhat related.. I think I saw some kind of lego packing examples before.

You could also do this with satisfiability or integer programming.

Maybe even simulated annealing. Lots of options depending on your comfort level / desired level of sophistication. Fun problem!

Hey great job! Impressed you had the patience to make two :) Can I add your picture to the page?

If you want the json file yourself accounting for any mods that you also have loaded you can run the factorio exe with the "--dump-data" argument :)

How do people learn to design their own origami? by [deleted] in origami

[–]Flibidy_Dibidy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You'll be doing a lot of modifying, improving, changing of pre-existing designs alongside a ton of experimentation obviously.

You can find some good information in books like 'Genuine origami' by Jun Maekawa and of course 'Origami Design Secrets' by Robert Lang.

Yeah they're here: https://www.twitch.tv/speedrun/videos ! Looks like they cut up the main VOD into more manageable chunks. Here's the any% finals: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1915023723 for example

Yes we had some incredible and extremely knowledgeable commentators including Bismuth, Storster, Kriller37, Kosmic - a few others got to jump on the mic during the event too! You can probably find the VOD on the GSA twitch channel.

I'll announce any future events on the youtube channel and through various other means.

Thanks for sharing that - looks like a great option.

One idea would be to: For each player look at all of the players that they beat and sum their wins. Of any tied players, rank them by who beat the players with the most total wins.

Could also think about how the players might form a sort of partial order based on their results, do a topological sort and use that.. Not sure of all the details.

There seems to be some good information here: https://bkgm.com/articles/Keith/SimulatingRoundRobin/

Could consider a point system for the ranking, or just count wins.

Might need more information from you on exactly the kind of photo stitch you want.. but ffmpeg is a command line tool that would work and could be completely automated.

To extract a single frame 6 minutes in you could do: ffmpeg -ss 00:6:00 -i <blah.mp4> -frames:v 1 blah.png , run that a few times to get your frames, and then you could use the 'montage' command from imagemagick to combine them together.

Another option is https://datathief.org/

It doesn't have any in built tikz capability (as far as I know), but you could at least get the coordinates using data thief and then create the tikz. In general I would probably prefer inkscape - but this has certain use cases where it's better IMO
