I trick computers into doing dumb stuff. Sometimes, with machine learning.

@_V3X3D Thanks! Means a lot, I love your work!

If you have a #playdate you should check out the Christmas bundle on itch! https://t.co/gjY077ahCE

[Ken Voskuil @kaesve]

Improvements include:

- Better performance when moving around
- The first tile you open is now always empty — no more insta death
- Double-clicking on an open tile opens all neighboring tiles that aren’t flagged

[Ken Voskuil @kaesve]

Since I finally got my hands on a #playdate, I can now actually see astrosweeper on the real hardware. Its so cool! I got motivated to polish it up a bit too, so here’s v0.2.5: https://t.co/NbWr2yVnQR

What’s an XORnament, you ask? A Christmas ornament that acts as an XOR gate of course! I had to build a game about this (pun-driven #gamedev), so I present to you:

XORnaments - a logic puzzle advent calendar

@watawatabou Looks great! is this based on the L-system-based system by Parish and Mueller? I found the @nothings blogpost rant insightful

[Ken Voskuil @kaesve]

Finally found time for an #ml project that has been tempting me; learning implicit font representations on a large set of fonts.

Keeping it pretty basic right now; just an MLP in #torch with two embeddings (fonts, characters) that tries to learn the SDF of 3000 fonts.

My entry for the game compo is up! A fast paced arcade game inspired by the ⁦@revision_party⁩ logo, with awesome music and sprites by roccow and tibs!

Come play it at https://t.co/GUrtcEmMLW and let me know your high scores

@lorenschmidt I love SDFs. They're so fun to play with, especially domain manipulation and stuff. Have you seen mercury dot sexy/hg_sdf/ (twitter won't allow me to post a .sexy link apparently..)? And iq's https://t.co/ai1Qfc97un?

[Ken Voskuil @kaesve]

@lorenschmidt Are you doing 2d or 3d SDFs?

[Ken Voskuil @kaesve]

Really happy with how these neon arcade games stickers turned out!

[Ken Voskuil @kaesve]

I made a new game! Infiniplumber is a fast-paced arcade game about connecting pipes. It's harder than it looks, but a lot of fun. Can you beat my high score?

You can play Infiniplumber for free at https://t.co/bvEgt0XD6N

@lorenschmidt I really am open to your perspective. I am also just trying to navigate this as a ml enthousiast

[Ken Voskuil @kaesve]

@lorenschmidt This is of course a bit reductive. But as long as the used training data is not regularly reproduced near-verbatim I don’t really feel it should be a problem.

Would you for example also feel this way about using art just for training a classifier? What about language models?
