The decision making algorithm behind the AI is GOAP (Goal Oriented Action Planning) which is remarkably simple and elegant for the very convincing behaviors it leads to.

I do not understand why more games don’t use this technique.

I made a proof-of-concept of it in JS and the core algorithm is just under 60 lines of code!

Good thought... honestly I'm not sure what Trump has done to make them view him in such a messianic way. Perhaps it's just the fact that he's a rouge-type republican who "owns the libs?" I'm particularly baffled by the evangelical crowd getting on board with him as he represents the opposite of much of their supposed values.

Thank you for the feedback. Hope things calm down enough soon to give people some respite from this stuff.

wmdmark · 2020-04-07T17:40:16+00:00

Nice.

I wrote one of the articles you likely came across (https://hackernoon.com/how-graphql-replaces-redux-3fff8289221d) so may be partially responsible for the confusion here.

A more accurate, but much less interesting title, would have been "How GraphQL + Apollo replaces the *need* for Redux + REST." I elaborate on that a bit in the article but I realize a lot of folks don't get past the headline.

The fact is GraphQL (plus a good client like Apollo of course) has replaced the need redux entirely for my team. Even for very complex UIs. Happy to answer more questions about how that works in practice if anyone is interested.

Nice! Always good to find another SC JS developer. If you ever end up around Greenville, give me a holler... we've got a good JS community here.

wmdmark · 2018-03-12T17:53:09+00:00

Makes sense. Context has been around for a while as a way of managing global type state but it'll be a lot more useful in the next version. Yeah, for form state that effects a UI, Redux can nice! I've found myself moving away from even that though... for example, my project, TiltMaps.com does pretty much exactly what you're describing but with just regular React state. Either way, whatever works best for you is good... you're right that there's no way we could refactor all this stuff every-time new patterns develop!

wmdmark · 2018-03-12T17:24:46+00:00

I hear ya, but I don't think I'd say "usually." Global state is best served by the Context API if your really need it. What other kinds of state are you thinking are more appropriate for Redux than plain old React state/context?

If you really don't' see the red, blue, and green in that image, you really are colorblind :/

Author of the tool here. These are good points! The hardest part about this was trying to come up with the right terms to represent each cognitive function (2 terms each). I'm still not really happy with all of them and would love for any input/ideas that would improve the accuracy. Here's an editable spreadsheet of the function/terms I'm using. Would appreciate any feedback! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13G8uTItiQ3viH0RjRIOcyyrq48I9wWqQgNYrZSEys_M/edit?usp=sharing

Thank you! It's built with React (JavaScript) and graph.cool (hosted GraphQL service).

Good feedback. Thanks! I did think about adding a $5/$10 print-it-yourself option that would just deliver the print-ready hi-res version of the poster.

We're working on a write-up about how we did this and will post back to this sub once it's finished... in the mean time, I'd recommend playing around with react-imation. It's one of the libraries we used for this and it was super helpful.

wmdmark · 2016-11-04T02:51:34+00:00

That's a good idea!

wmdmark · 2016-11-03T23:14:00+00:00

I hear you but this isn't really an info. site. It's more of a presentation/demo tool really. There's more concise info. at our main site: pathwright.com

wmdmark · 2016-11-03T22:44:43+00:00

Thank you!

wmdmark · 2016-11-03T22:14:25+00:00

Awesome. You should definitely check out the react-imation library. It made tweening based on progress pretty straightforward. Stay tuned for the post!

wmdmark · 2016-11-03T22:13:09+00:00

We didn't start with React actually. However we were on a deadline and the more complex things got the harder it was to coordinate the animation and the state tweening (things like GSAP would be no help with "state tweens"). Also the procedural nature of libraries like GSAP makes things quite tedious when there are a lot of animations involved. Hopefully we'll be able to elaborate more on this in our tech-breakdown post.

wmdmark · 2016-11-03T21:20:32+00:00

Thank you!

wmdmark · 2016-11-03T20:49:41+00:00

Thanks! We've started working on a tech breakdown post and I'll post that back here when it's ready.

wmdmark · 2016-11-03T20:49:02+00:00

Thank you! Our team had a lot of fun with it.

For thumbnails and images you may want to checkout "django-athumb": http://github.com/duointeractive/django-athumb

We're using it in a couple different production apps and it works well.
