alt Hacker NewsThanks! Great idea, I hadn’t realized the interaction is binary. It would be cool to allow for "continuous" inputs too. The world would have to account for interactions over a recording period right.
Behind the scenes, I’ve tried to make the audio production realistic, so there’s some acoustic modeling going on (eg echoes, attenuation of sound, etc). But yes you could imagine having the input forces be continuous and having the mechanism trying to figure out how to reproduce the sound exactly.
I love this idea of declarative modeling of the world because it seems to me to be the way that we as humans do it. I think the hard part about declarative is understanding intent beyond simple interactions. The current limited framing limits the expression one is capable of in the world but of course these are all tradeoffs.
