Am I the only one who thinks this is a little overengineered?

Am I the only one who thinks this is a little overengineered?
- ssivark 7y agoNot unlike most neural network solutions :-P But hey, this seems to be a fun project more than anything else. And working in such low-dimensional spaces with an obvious disentangled representation (only shot strength and angle matter) might provide intuition to beginners.
- atum47 7y agoyeah, I'm thinking about stealing wind strength and direction from the Worms game
- verst 7y agoRemember Gorillas from the QBasic language? That had wind speed and direction. Perhaps helpful. https://github.com/GorillaStack/gorillas/blob/master/gorillas.bas https://github.com/GorillaStack/gorillas/blob/master/gorilla...
- goldenkey 7y agoGunbound was extremely complex with all kinds of variables including boomerang style projectiles.
- atum47 7y agoprobably not
- atum47 7y agothink about it like this: with a 10 minutes training the neural network takes about 8 shots to hit the target, so as the player, you have 8 shots to hit it before it hits you. after 20 minutes of training the nn would take about 4 shots to hit you... so on and so forth. the original idea was to have several levels of difficulty and distribute them across the game levels. levels 1-10 poorly trained nn levels 2-20 better trained nn levels 30 and above you got one shot before the nn hits you. anyway, it was just an idea
- rs23296008n1 7y agoNever just an idea. Remove the "just". It is a realised idea and it was important that you execute the idea and, to whatever useful extent, finish it. Don't allow that negative wordplay. Don't make light of this and think there are no consequences in keeping that diminishing, passivity inducing "just".
- atum47 7y agoI'll remember that. Thanks
- stanfordkid 7y agoOn point! So much harder to execute and create something real and tangible than pontificate.
- jeffshek 7y agoThis is the light that shines through cynicism - the light that makes people brave enough to post new stuff.
- armatav 7y agoThis poster is correct - “just” takes away from yourself, it’s an idea.
- darepublic 7y agowell its kind of a hello world-ish example within this domain so I am fine with it
