Game design question : how to make a "trapped" player character?

Reply in thread

Thank you for the detailed response. The gameplay loop I have in mind is a puzzle game where the thing you're trying to do is usually easy, but you're limited in some way that makes it hard. An example I gave in another comment is : write a computer program that adds two numbers, but you're not allowed to use the + symbol.

I really like your idea of "beneficial spell". I think maybe the knight and enemies are autonomous, and the princess can only do a single action to make the knight succeed.

I remember playing a game like this. It's based on Conway's game of life. The goal is to flip a single cell to make all the cells die after a certain number of turns.

In all seriousness though, I wouldn't pay money to look at pretty pictures. If I wanted an image but AI didn't exist, I wouldn't commission anyone. The image that I want just simply wouldn't exist.

Is the damsel in distress trope just independent?

Yes, you're right (except it's not a joke). Not sure why the other person seems to be dismissive about model theory, reducing an entire field of mathematics to "people are different and think different things".

But I still wonder : Are there any axioms that can decide the statement about damsels in distress, just like how axioms can be added to ZFC that decide CH, like V=L and proper forcing axioms as I pointed out?

Strongly disagree on the "AI art uses already existing art and can’t create something original or new" part. Are collages new? Is new music new if it uses pre-existing chords? Is parody new?

Unless you think AI just copies/pastes existing art like Google image search (it doesn't), the things that AI creates is new.

I want to understand why some women seem to enjoy movies and video games that use the damsel in distress trope, despite knowing that in feminist theory it's often considered harmful. I realized that Godel and Cohen proved a very similar result and wonder if their techniques can be applied here as well

Actually, now that I think of it, we can add axioms to ZFC that decide CH. For example, V=L implies it's true, and proper forcing axioms imply that it's false. Can we also add additional axioms to decide whether or not the damsel in distress trope is harmless fun, or sexist against women?

I think it goes deeper than that. There are people who disagree with the axiom of choice, finitists who disagree with the axiom of infinity, etc. But it's a proven theorem (not independent) that ZFC proves the existence of uncountably infinite sets, non-measurable sets, etc. On the other hand, ZFC doesn't prove nor disprove CH.

So it's much deeper than merely "people are different and think different things".
