@Zerglingman@lonelyowl Working with other people’s coding examples makes my head hurt. Not even writing code yet; just trying to wrap my brain around the concept. Still having difficulty understanding that first lesson! Oof. Hopefully it will be easier once I start to dig into the mechanisms myself.
@Zerglingman@lonelyowl Either of you work on ML yourselves? I am wondering if it’s better to prioritize getting to and defeating high-value targets (like bosses) or whether it’s better to prioritize defeating any target.
The benefits of the second I think are immediately apparent. Killing any enemy gives a virtual certainty to kill high value targets, but the drawbacks seem similarly drastic. That is that the bot will just run around killing everything and perhaps run into loops where a baddie spawns, bot kills, new baddie spawns, bot kills, old baddie spawns, etc.
The second wouldn’t face this drawback, but it’s drawback is it would be very rigid and would need multiple models for different areas, increasing the size requirements drastically.
@lonelyowl@Zerglingman Can you set multiple rewards that have equal weight? Like for example gaining experience points and making it through a level the fastest way possible? I should probably just read more on the subject, but the way you put it helped everything click in my head just now. Perhaps you’ll be more insightful than an article on the subject.
@lonelyowl@Zerglingman In particular I am trying to come up with a bot that you can PvP with ultimately, which would be really rad.
I think I am simply putting too much thought into it, a problem I have had with ML since I first learned of it. Having had it explained to me in a way that I can better understand has opened my eyes to my critical error in the first place. This is not something I have to baby.
@lonelyowl@Zerglingman So I think I’ve settled into a comfortable paradigm in my head, and learned everything I can from reading though I did confuse myself again trying to read into it. I love when that happens and now it’s time to focus on trial and error. I think once I’ve got movement down the rest should come naturally especially because the code-base I’ll have to work with will be rather minimal in the end. At least that’s my expectations going into it.
On a bit of a side note, I was looking into using python code in other languages because I may need it, and figured I’d find a native language version for a different coding language. I look into it and find it uses Python wrappers. :angryglitch:
My version of SD is about a year old now so who knows how many advances have been made since then but it takes quite a while to get anything close to passable without a reference image. Well unless you’re lucky that is.
Why do leftists always envision their enemies as fat hairy neckbeards with shirts that don't fit their beer guts? I'm 50/50 on whether this is projection or a fetish thing.
@sjw@dirb@graf@p Tacos are some of the most fantastic food to ever exist. Fucking beef, chicken, pork; ANY KIND OF MEAT! The explosion of flavor with every bite: ORGASMIC. Sometimes I pretend my taco is a pretty women and EAT HER ENTIRELY!
@olmitch@Zerglingman@coolboymew Me and games don't get along much these days. I've found myself sliding further into boomer tendencies as I grow older. Soon I'll be watching the ballgame with one of those beer helmets and demanding kids do not transgress onto my green pastures.
If you remember the name though let me know I might look it up someday.
