Not quite procedural generation, but it is a simulation that can be applied to emergent content generation.

It's basically a supply-demand model with actors.

Recently found this game that's been in development for a while.

The devlog has a bunch of nifty implementation details which anyone working on procedural generation for a simulated world may enjoy reading for tips. It spans 2017 to present including a port to Unity, and from Unity to Godot over the past years, which is pretty funny.

Hi!

I'm looking for a C# library for matrix operations and preferably some linear algebra or optimization routines. Basically a NumPy/SciPy or PyTorch.

Ideally there'd be support for various backends (e.g. CPU, CUDA, OpenCL) for operations where possible.

As far as I can tell, there's Math.NET Numerics, Numpy.NET (which binds to Python's numpy), and NumSharp (which hasn't had commits since 2021), which seem to fit the bill mostly, though none are accelerated.

Otherwise, there are some libraries I've forgotten that seem to specifically target CUDA, which is too selective for my purpose. Maybe it was Hybridizer, which seems like its own compiler, which I'm not sure would work for me either.

There's also ComputeSharp which lets you write shaders directly in C#, though targets DirectX if I understand well.

The closest thing I've found is ILGPU, which seems brilliant since it JIT compiles kernels to CPU, CUDA, and OpenCL. The problem is I believe I'd need to write my own operations and kernels and essentially implement my own matrix compute library, though there seems to be some work on it, so maybe what I'm looking for is supported out of the box, minus optimization algorithms and so on.

Basically, does anyone have any pointers?

Hopefully this one makes it through. I've been desperately trying to post to a community on this instance. A spinner appears, and then nothing for a half hour. I tried again, same thing.

Anyone know what's up?

Title suffices I think. Have other people noticed this? I've tried poking around for other threads a bit.

What could be causing this?

Here's an interesting application of deep learning to the creation of terrain heightmaps!

They train a generative adversarial network to generate/classify "true" terrain, documenting their process and issues they encountered.

An excuse to make another post: let me link to this blog! Most posts are sort of "devlogs" detailing procedural generation (for his mapgen project) or game mechanics and math that's useful for them.

This was something I was toying around with in Godot 3.4 some time back. It uses shaders for generation from simple noise + thresholds.

Thought I'd start off with a post, at least! This was something I was toying around with in Godot 3.4 some time back. It uses shaders for generation from simple noise + thresholds.

I was wondering what people have been doing to share videos! It doesn't seem like uploading locally to the instance is currently an option, right?

Just a random thought experiment. Let's say I have my account on a lemmy instance: [email protected]. One day I decide to stop paying for the domain and move to [email protected], and someone else gains it and also starts up a lemmy instance.

If they make their own [email protected], how do federated instances distinguish who's who?

Have I misunderstood the role of domain names in this?
