alt Hacker NewsI tried this with DOOM. Fable 5 did a pretty shit job. Astra made pretty crazy animated sprites and was pretty good considering.
The fact that these are at all playable and 100x my programming skill level is pretty depressing from a certain pov. The ThreeJS dude posted ab how demotivated he was to continue his work, and while I was never a dev that did much with webgl, I commiserate.

My hope is that this drives a new generation of hyper creative content from those who don't give up. I mean, of course it does pacman well. Pacman and its clones have been done to the death over decades. But what if we ask AI to write finnegan's wake 2?

Mrdoob? If so, can you show a link?
I wonder if we need better programming abstractions/ languages that can make programming easier for people.
It seems like a lot of the programming is cookie cutter type stuff (where these ai programs shine) and should be easier.
They can be amazing, but promoting “make a pac man game” seems like an exercise in which model has the best training code that was Pac-Man.
