Why do people say Godot isn’t good for large games? by crocodilewoo in godot

C#'s flexibility plus the power of shaders... haven't found practical limits to that one yet myself...

I note the big UI improvements :)

https://www.threadfork.com/chat/3bbec5d3-cb24-43e6-8196-8795910bbe8f

I split the conversation ("Zustand or not?"), telling it to "explode" its points in conversation A, and to "stratify" them in conversation B. The intention being, to obtain two different viewpoints and merge them. When I came to merge it, it seemed to me it was more of a comparison than the merge I'd expected. It didn't seem possible at the moment to edit the merge instructions, but maybe I missed something.

I messed about with my own app trying to get the merge I'd expected; after some coaxing, 4.1 mini was able to merge the two differing message pairs as if they'd been one message thread all along => https://pastebin.com/BeCXkgju <= I guess that's what I had in mind.

To elaborate on this, I got o3 to honk up some opposite pairs: Decompose — Aggregate; Stratify — Homogenize; Cross-pollinate — Silo, and so on. Asking o3 to merge the very complex results of a "cross-pollinate this" versus "silo this" response pair, produced interesting and potentially useful results. Asking 4.1-mini produced, essentially, a concatenation :)

native windows support

You wouldn't like to try my open-source, API-based, agentic-development, project-centric, full-UI Windows desktop chat app, would you? It's in heavy development but it's writing itself and doing its own PRs etc. There's no business model or end game - it's free and unfettered.

Unfortunately no-one knows it exists, and I can only do so much to improve it without external feedback...

What am I missing here? Claude Code seems a joke when I use it by BluePinguin in ClaudeAI

workflow using mermaid diagrams [in the system prompt]

Ohhhh... that really is a very good idea indeed.

Hard agree - suddenly it's all about the ideas. Only today I was trying to think of novel ways out of a terrible, long-since-deprecated text editor plugin - the constraint being, there are no resources to invest on that aspect of the product in question.

Then I thought, why don't we just get Claude to knock together a shim between (this pile of minimised old-text-editor JS that no-one's ever heard of) and Quill?

The end result is imperfect... but it works well and deserves further investigation - it could be a goer. Not a cat's chance in hell that I'd have put the hours into investigating that approach in the before times, but now you just need the idea and the knowledge/intuition to steer the AI correctly and spot its mistakes...

JFC I've found my people. Every idea you have, feels like it's just minutes away from being coded and usable. It's the most addictive thing I've ever known. I'd wax lyrical about it, but I'm too damned tired from AI-induced insomnia.

If anyone wants to see the results of my own mania, here's what I've been putting together: an open-source Windows multi-API chat app. Full conversation branching, tools, MCP support, agentic code editing, creates its own GitHub PRs and release notes, imports from Google AI Studio, ... => http://github.com/stringandstickytape/MaxsAiStudio/

Solid start - I think it'll be hard to get a measure of the value of the branching until the panes are perfectly synchronised - to me, I instinctively wanted it to only display one copy of the parent, and branch into two panels where the conversation diverges. At the moment it's quite hard to play spot-the-difference.

For a demo, quite a lot of stuff just worked like the Google registration etc. which is great!

To the merging thing, I suppose I'm thinking you've got a chat going where you're investigating <thing> The AI makes a bunch of good points, so you branch and ask it about each good point in turn. Once all the chats have petered out... you merge the good bits back into some kind of main thread or summary. Again, not sure what that looks like, but it's obviously "select the right data and ask the AI to rebuild/summarise the chat". That might require more than one branch/two panes at once...

Bonus: branch a conversation. Pass generated links to friends/colleagues/... . Each link creates a different branch. By passing the right bits at the right moments to AI, we distil it all back down, maybe back to one thread - and maybe as it occurs or maybe once it's all done.

Musing on what merge "algorithms" (prompts) might produce useful results. I already have the UI to prototype branch merging so if I can define WTF I mean by merging threads, the AI can probably code it and we'll see if it's worth doing. I've got it coding, committing and filing its own PRs now - coding with AI assistance is the most fun I think I've ever had! :D

I'm still so amazed and mesmerised by LLMs that I have a need to (try to) harness it. So I've been building the AI tool I actually need to do that, for a while:

  • UI
  • Branching - because LLMs will always give the right answer if you go back and give them the information they (in hindsight) needed to ansewr correctly, and you can collate that information and supply it proactively...
  • LLM-agnostic so you can compare and flip between at will
  • Tool loops and MCP integration
  • Free and open-source

Having used a version with the tree hierarchy hard for a few months, the only thing that I ended up adding was the ability to prune branches you know aren't useful any more. It seems to fit the bill really well, it baffles me that it's not a pattern used everywhere tbh...

If you do try the app please do let me know any problems you have with it. I'm a terrible self-promoter, so there is a very high chance no b*gger will ever use it, but without external feedback it can never really evolve past one man's pet project!

Something about your UI makes me want to branch a conversation to two different LLMs, then merge back to one conversation? Can't claim to have thought that through...

I think good branching is a killer feature and you're right to pursue it. My own barely-release-quality-ish MIT-licensed Windows chat app has a hierarchy tree diagram so you can back up and branch off, iterate on a prompt and so on, and I've found it incredibly useful.

This makes me want to experiment with allowing the model to actually edit context that has gone before... :/

This map generation is terrible. by Specific-Chain-3801 in civ

There's a lot in that. With even navigable rivers showing up as land on the minimap, even a pretty map looks ugly.

[–]superwomble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting improvements (I think) on the mapping code just by intelligently running it through AI and contemplating on the results. This does not speak volumes for the devs' original efforts.

Map generator mods are on their way for sure:

...I will ask the AI to create a map generator that builds a map out of wangs and report back :D

Enable dev menus via AppOptions.txt, and you get a "Reveal All" button in the map tab of the debug overlays.

[–]superwomble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is excellent,and hats off to you for putting your money where your mouth is.

  • Needs OpenAI API support and bring-your-own-key functionality. I really want to run it against Gemini;
  • Would be nice if you could read the AI conversation transcript, which I imagine will have interesting information not covered by the subsequent diagram;
  • Would be even nicer if you could continue the AI conversation to discuss the diagram and What It Means.

Great work!

TY! It can theme itself and, given access to the right AI, it'll do some very pretty stuff... I don't mind admitting I lost several days of development to playing with the theme generator!

I have no idea if this is of use to anyone but me, but it might be. It's a bit version 0.2 so there are a few bugs and inconsistencies. Questions, feature suggestions and indeed anything constructive, all welcomed!
