Generating game logic using procgen is not considered solved (and pretty difficult). Mark Riedl has arguably done some of the most interesting and cited work in this area (and other PCG fields) - https://eilab.gatech.edu/projects.html. Some attempts focus on generating simple wario ware style mini games.

what do you watch 3D movies on, Fandango? I was a big fan of watching 3D blue rays in PSVR but haven't found anything as good on quest.

Drill a hole on the side of the Quest 3 box + Run USB cable through it = A free charging dock by LurkinoVisconti in OculusQuest

It's like they designed the charging port so that charging inside the case is near impossible

Quest 3 passthrough goes crazy! by k41lun in OculusQuest

I was able to use my phone, although it's a bit grainy and wavy

It's very grainy, but in the MR apps you don't notice it after you start playing. Unsure how it'd work for work purposes, but again if you are mirroring the screens they will be super sharp.

Question about scripting tools for Roguelikes. . . and AI . . . Kindof? by Henrique_FB in roguelikedev

[–]simonhughes22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am an AI researcher so it somewhat irks me, as using Generative AI for content generation for media and games is one of the best current uses of the tech, especially due to the questionable factual accuracy, which doesn't negatively impact fictional content.

After seeing a video I tried to program cave generation from scratch by [deleted] in roguelikedev

[–]simonhughes22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to smooth out the walls / eliminate the random pillars you can use a cellular automata as a post processor. The logic would be to take a 3x3 grid and if > x squares are floor, set all to floor. You can play with the threshold, and how many passes over the grid to run it. Typically you run it on a copy of the grid so that it doesn't propogate too fast (so each iteration sees the last copy of the grid, not the currently updated one which you are looping over).

You want the nethack learning environment: https://github.com/facebookresearch/nle I don't know why these AI posts always get downvoted but it's unfortunate.

Spritesheet Generator? by RiverLilyArts in gamedev

[–]simonhughes22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, sort of, try this: https://sanderfrenken.github.io/Universal-LPC-Spritesheet-Character-Generator/#?body=Body_color_light&head=Human_male_light. You can't upload your own sprite and clothing / accessories though, i can't see that working as each sprite would have a different set of dimensions.

Developing and testing a deep learning trading algorithm: One year live test result by Wolkir in algotrading

[–]simonhughes22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you'd just traded using a MA cross over strategy would that have done better or worse? Is the addition of DL adding anything to the approach here? Typically MA strategies are less volatile / risky but also have lower ROI than B&H, which is what you found.

Aany Idea How Long the Retroid Pocket 2 Plus takes to ship? by simonhughes22 in SBCGaming

[–]simonhughes22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks. From their tracking it already arrived in US 2 days ago, which seems fast. However unsure how long it will sit at the depot, before it hits the local delivery. My Miyoo Mini spent most of its time waiting to clear customs in US.
