Coding Crusader's

I have so many posts late reading this topic :see_no_evil:

No way you organise some coding challenges ? :grin: I’m so much in ! :joy:


About the image with the fox, 10 years ago I had coded a script to convert images to ascii chars like this :

Coming back to the fox design, I think it’s pretty interesting challenge !
On top of brighness, the spacing between lines is used to create some “dark”, quite smart.
I’ll give it a shot one of those days :slight_smile:

Fascinated by the procedural art of creating worlds like “tiny glade”.
Here is my first version of a self-regenerating wall.

Game of life. colored by sum of neighbors.

If you consider more neighbors, the rules of life have to be changed so that there is a good life-death balance.

Oh, this is a cool version of Conway’s game. Looks awesome!

WFC


What you can create with WFC?

Errm, you sure this is using a WFC :thinking:? See e.g. here (text) or here (code).

But anyway, WFC is way overhyped: It is a nice constraint solver but you need to come up with the constraints in the first place. And then you probably need a system of constraints, i.e. second order constraints (i.e. that constrain your constraints). And do not mention exceptions and edge cases: well usually this object goes there, but this one, ohh noo…

@CodingCrusader here is my lunch pause :grinning: Not perfect, but still I had fun :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

(File picker prompt should open on clicking Run, then select a square image)

I’m sure @roland the GreasedLine master will like it :grin:

Hello @Tricotou

Are you interested in another challenge? Due to lack of time, I unfortunately cannot implement all of my ideas. If you are ready to take on the mission, here is the task:

Create a body controller that uses a pre-trained network to control the dude with your own body and make a mirror mode like in the movie Real Steel

Here are the ingredients:

hey @roland we are developers not consumers! :smiley: That is a subtle but very important difference.

You know that the joy of creating is the greatest joy of all!

The only game that captivates me is ‘In Death: Unchained’. This game is known for its challenging difficulty and intense atmosphere. It’s a great game for anyone who wants a challenge and enjoys the medieval aesthetic.

That’s basically the pitch of my first ever job as a 3D dev, 10 years ago :grin:

Our Start-Up, Smart Me Up, was at the time a pionner in Deep-Based Computer Vision, and we had trained an algorithm to track landmarks on face and body.

In order to tease our work to the Las Vegas CES in 2014, I had done a real time body controller in Python, to animate a Minion from Despicable Me. The goal was to create a mirror with a vertical screen and a Logitech C920 webcam… :grin: The render was done real time using BGE (Blender Game Engine, which doesn’t exist anymore, sadly)
