You wrote "Please leave a comment on my blog". I am doing so. I don't remember which video I subscribed to your channel for, but I regret nothing. Saw your glEnd() of Zelda video.
Such originality. Such potential of implementing machine learning and stuff... My hat's off to you.
Waiting to see next versions and implementations of this project.

[ Winter Vacation 2016 ]
Unfortunately the reason for this comment has nothing to do with your vacation, although I really enjoyed reading your post. It reminded me of friend who visited Curacao back around 2003 or so and we were both in our early 20's. She came back after a week and could not remember any of her trip, and she spent a whole week recovering. She did remember to bring back several disposable cameras which ended highlighting some entertaining parts of her trip which she probably wished she had not remembered.
Anyway, back to the reason for my post. I am the creator of the app PikPark. While searching through font types to use in my app I came across "Two turtle Doves" on dafont.com. From what I found it appeared to be free to use, if I am wrong please let me know. I did not see a pay or donate link on dafont.com. I did however come across your site, which is the reason for leaving this comment. I also made a contribution to a non-profit organization, which was requested by other font contributors. I chose the Gary Sinise Foundation.
Thanks for creating such cool and creative fonts. If you have an newer iPhone or iPad you can download the app for free on the iTunes App Store and see your art at work. https://itunes.apple.com/dm/app/pikpark-create-share-rock/id821902857?mt=8 . The images are quite large when saved, and will make the app crash when used on a iPhone4 or iPad2.
If you download the app and like it feel free to help me spread the word. I could definitely use some help with that at the moment. Thank you for your time. -Brad |

hi Jim . I did something similar once when N7 posted a couple of levels when escape was down.
So here is my try at helping you , the esx file opens in the escape game automatically but you have to put the file in a folder , my levels is the one I chose and it worked fine.
To find the folder make sure you have hidden folders on your PC set so you can see them then go to
C:\users\[username]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\ProgramFiles\Escape\mylevels.
then paste in the esx file . go back to the escape game open as normal choose mylevels folder and it will play.
Hope this helps there more info above from Dave this is how I learnt this. |

Well if it was intentional, then nicely done... |

Well, he was performing a feat (running across an entire country) where the photo was taken, so in a sense the caption is quite correct. |

"These could be anywhere beneath your feat"
I think I found a grammatical error (and not of the "forgetting which language is which" kind...) |

Went to high school with a handful of Curaçaoans. Totally a country, so congrats! And Papiamentu is one of the craziest and most melodic languages ever, although I've never actually seen it written down. |

It's especially funny to see the fake "argument" above with the hostname right next to it. |

I have several questions…
Considering the long times you’ve seen playfun pausing, including your megaman pausing (you said in your video that it was like 9-10 hours of pausing). Is there some sort of limit to playfun’s learning?
I’ve shown it several castlevania plays, constantly showing it how to go from the start to stage 4. Several runs of playfun have resulted in it at least making it to stage 2 but my most recent few runs of playfun have not resulted in it going up the stairs to stage 2. I know it knows how to reach stage 2, its gone there on its own, I know that, so why isn’t it using it even though it knows it causes the stage value to increase?
How do you know or discern the locations of the values of the in game stuff (where you manually set some of its objectives)? Do you have to read it with a special program or just hex editing? As an example, what numbers would I have to use to tell it to prioritize points, health, lives, and levels in castlevania? I can’t see where those values are.
Is there a way to tell playfun to modify some of the game like a game genie while running? I’d think of this because if playfun does better on its last life, then just alter your lives such that you only have 1 so it has no choice but to do things correctly the first time. Or would one have to mod the rom itself to produce that result?
Is there a way to tell playfun to try to produce the best results within an objective time frame or to consider itself at least restrained or judged based upon objective time? Perhaps objective time as an actual “objective”? Like, say, 5 minutes? When I say “objective time” I mean such that it tries to do the best it can within 5 actual minutes, not game minutes (this would result in “pausing” being bad since it would only stop game time, not the actual time).
Can playfun tell the difference between a bullet to the head (like your contra video) and the actual end and or “beating” of a game?
You once manually changed the goals of playfun so that it was more conservative with its lives, with the algorithms in place will it eventually do that on its own if run long enough?
It appears to issue commands up to 60 times a second (one per frame), can it be changed where it only tries to make a move…say…every 3 frames instead of each individual frame?
Thought I'd consolidate them instead of posting them over like a 2 month period.
Playfun is awesome! ...just want to find a way to help it progress better and more efficiently. |

Anonymous 1: Sure, go for it! It would be nice to have a thanks if it inspired your game, but do what you gotta do.
Anonymous 2: No? |

thks it fixed it rendering now |

I may have forgotten to include "controller.png" and "controllerdown.png" with the binary distribution; that failing on that line means it wasn't able to load some graphic.. You can download them from subversion (click the source link on the home page) and put them in the directory with scopefun.exe. Note that scopefun is the least user-friendly of the apps, since I was just using it on a one-off basis to make some of the movies! |
| |
Sorry for the wrong name... ! |

Hi Tom, unfortunately I've had to get a new MacBook, but Escape is still not working under El Capitain... :-( I hope you'll be able to fix it soon! |

This is what I get from scope fun before it crashes
WinMain.
Loaded ddraw...
Get command line...
Parse command line...
Init SDL
SDL initialized OK.
With no command line argument, assuming movie name
smb-playfun-futures-progress.fm2
.. from config file.
scopefun.cc:49. Check failed: stb_rgba
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information. |

How do I set up scopefun? |

If you want to write custom objective functions, put them in "mario.objectives" (if the game in config is "mario"). Each line has the floating point weight followed by the decimal memory offsets (0-2047) in descending importance. |
| |
I think I'm getting this thing. So how do I, (without compiling anything) teach it a text based goal? The readme speaks of a "tasbot" thing but there is no tasbot.exe in the folder |
| |
Here you go: http://spacebar.org/songs-nonfree/ Not sure anything in there is good except for the two I played at the show.
For drums, I mapped some drum samples (from a SID emulator?) to the standard channel 10 midi mapping, but only really for the drums that I tend to use. There are terrible volume problems and so on. Works better if you compose the drum track for t7eshero specifically. I also did something for live drums where you could select the patch set, but I don't remember.
I think I only use velocity of NOTE_ON to control the volume. |
| |
One more quick question: does MIDI track volume control in-game track volume, or does only velocity work for that?
Also I'm really tempted to bombard you with feature requests but I know I should just learn ML and implement them myself! Argh! |
