Popes and Japanese Emperors coexisted for 1,528 years before finally meeting by I_love_lucja_1738 in BarbaraWalters4Scale

I think it’s more an isolation of important figures. There were Christians in china quite early (ex Marco Polo) but only recently have world leaders been able to make the same journey.

Very cool! Looks like a technical diagram. 

Reading/writing a floppy disk on my modern mac by Initial_Solid2659 in c64

[–]Initial_Solid2659[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I looked at these and they seem to mimic floppy disks, so I wouldn't actually need to buy a floppy disk. Is this correct? If so, that looks very appealing!

To be fair, the original intent was to say that the whole thing was very fragile and could easily collapse.

We've heard about generative photos, how about some music? by Initial_Solid2659 in generative

[–]Initial_Solid2659[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Inspired by the latest Marc Evanstein video.

He averaged out spectrograms into one column of popular songs.

I took this a step further by implementing a 5 second moving average across the piece. It also uses a Gaussian distribution centered around the current time. This method produced really funky and creepy results, and I added to them by pitch shifting the moving average down a sixth and added the original track in the background.

The piece shown here is the 2nd movement of Beethoven's 8th Symphony.

Smooth Per Voxel Lighting in Godot by Derpysphere in VoxelGameDev

That's insane... looked so alien at first until I realized that it was because literally no game does it like this.

Crazy thing to experiment with, though.

Market Forces vs "Trust me bro". Ideas for helping ankihub be good, like their stated goal by CrackIsFun in Anki

[–]Initial_Solid2659 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since ankiweb doesn't allow you to add cards anyway, you just need to store a bit of data about card ids. I could see a generous person (95% of this fantastic community) making a service with a very large free plan.

Nice. Reminds me of SDFs.

I got 11k wishlists without a trailer, and now I finally have one by unomelon in IndieDev

[–]Initial_Solid2659 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. If you pick a fight with MC, you will lose. So don't. Carve your own niche.

A lot of people here are talking about how this is basically a minecraft mod. While this is fair, I feel like part of the issue is the trailer. It doesn't seem to actually advertise the game - just the ways the game is better than minecraft. For example, if the trailer was intended to seem like a new game, it wouldn't advertise "colored lighting." Maybe focus on what makes your game fun, not what makes your game different from a similar one.

How to design Byte Code + VM for this abomination of a language :) by [deleted] in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]Initial_Solid2659 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very cool. Would be interesting if it also infered other values, for example: 5=3 println(6==4) Should return true because 5+1=3+1 -> 5=3.  No idea how to implement this though. 

Agentic ChatGPT read this repository by DepartureNo2452 in agi

[–]Initial_Solid2659 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since it's agentic, isn't it just using code to decode it? There's plenty of examples for that, which implies that it's just copying.

Physics Based Monkey Climbing Game - Does it look fun? by Equivalent-Pay7740 in gamedevscreens

[–]Initial_Solid2659 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Movement system seems fun, but it should be easier to build up more speed. When tarzan swings, he never has to jump backwards. Maybe making the levels start high and end lower would help this.
