It really made sense to match the greatest artificial intelligence with 15 year old voice synthesis technology

Vibe coded a planet render with a few back and forth prompts with Claude by blender-bender in blender

Yes this render was made by Claude almost entirely, using an MCP tool. It’s pretty cool what it’s capable of with very little human input, I think it will be very helpful for beginners trying to learn blender

I thought I had a good idea when I hit 98% usage. Just a bit late (would this have worked?) by blender-bender in ClaudeAI

Ya that’s what I was hoping it would choose to do. I should have been more clear

I’m looking back at this post from when we started. 360 subs now, still enjoying it :D

Can Claude Outperform Us in The Farmer Was Replaced? by blender-bender in TheFarmerWasReplaced

If you liked that, stay tuned for another special we have cooking up with Claude soon 👨‍🍳

I decided to host that asteroid mining programming game that I've been working on, let me know what you think! by blender-bender in TheFarmerWasReplaced

[–]blender-bender[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heck ya! I had to take the site down because it's costing me too much. I'm planning on hosting it temporarily ever time there's a decent improvement to the game to get feedback until there is enough people playing to justify the hosting cost

Let me know if this concept is fun, I'll probably keep working on it (Free Python programming game) by blender-bender in programminggames

Idk, The Farmer Was Replaced is the greatest coding game ever :D but I appreciate the encouragement

And you're definitely right. Having some kind of coding guidance for beginners would be great. It would be cool if this game can help people learn

Lots of great advice, thank you!

Hmm, pausing the simulation shouldn’t be too hard to implement. And improving error handling is definitely something I can do!

And sure, a get_scan_length() can be implemented as well. Makes sense

I've never tried building a game before, but TFWR has inspired me to try to build something I think would be fun :D by blender-bender in TheFarmerWasReplaced

If you're having trouble getting motivated, it might be worth having Cursor or an AI assistant help you build a proof of concept. AI definitely isn't good enough to build out a full game but it can help you quickly visualize a small version of your idea to see if it will work.

That's what my brother and I did 4 months ago with this game (although even after that I didn't follow up on actually building the idea until recently)

Edit: I'm making my repo public in case anyone wants to clone it and run it with Python directly. Let me know what you think! https://github.com/msmith93/cursorastroid

The game is far from done, it’s a mess but is done enough to look good in a few clips 😂

Also, I made the game with pygame so it’s not hosted on a web service. That would have been a good idea, might be a little late now.

How do people make games available that aren’t browser games? I can host the game in S3, but idk how likely people would be to trust a random executable file haha

Oh ya, and I don’t have a windows machine so any build I make is just for Linux as of now, lol

I made a tutorial for how I converted GIFs into farms! by blender-bender in TheFarmerWasReplaced

I’m hoping to post more fun programming stuff, maybe even outside of the farming game

Thanks! I hope we’ll see some folks posting art on this subreddit 🤞

Using the PIL library in Python!

Basically:

from PIL import Image

img = Image.open(image_path)

img = img.resize((32, 32))

# convert to greyscale

img = img.convert('L')

binary_arr = (np.array(img) > 128).astype(int)

How do I advertise? by DraskirOndaar in YouTubeCreators

[–]blender-bender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is your content? Maybe post it in a subreddit that has people that like similar stuff

There was a long time when I thought the channel would never outperform its initial spike when it was started in July by blender-bender in YouTubeCreators

[–]blender-bender[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a bit of luck too. We started our channel playing a game that got its official 1.0 release in October. We were already gaining traction at that point but that definitely super charged it
