My USP is specifically targeting Snapdragon 8CX (a mobile CPU) and OpenGL 3.3 with Adreno graphics


Nope, all done real-time using Frustum culling.

`Baking` of lightmaps is supported but not currently necessary


Other than the 14 examples included, not yet; this is brand new and I am reaching out to the community to create some stuff with it, extend it with angled brushes, new entity types, etc

Thanks so much for your interest.


Now that I have built this tool I'm going to use it to create a game


I posted an earlier version of my digital pet with a neural network about 10 months ago — since then I’ve added optional ONNX Runtime acceleration. No Pytorch.

This update introduces optional AI accelerator support via ONNX Runtime while keeping NumPy fallback.

I am looking for testers, thank you for your interest x


Wow! This has blown up overnight! 150 stars on Github! Thanks everyone!


> Have you seen any emergent behaviors from the squids that you didn't expect?

I have a squid that has become unnecessarily obsessed with playing with poop - throwing it around

Also another that likes to hoard decoration items by pushing them all together into a big pile


What if a Tamagotchi had a neural network and could learn stuff?

A digital pet squid that also teaches how neural networks and hebbian learning work. Behaviours are driven by the neural network according to his needs:

I spent AGES on this and would love feedback. I think it's just the right balance of educational and fun. I did all the graphics myself and am currently working on multiplayer - squids will be able top enter other tanks and steal things, bring them home


What if our todo list/commits/issue tracker could affect the blob and bloat could kill him? no?

This might also see a long shelf life, say, as familiars of fantasy rpgs, as pets from a fictionalized world-building narrative online; I guess it could be so for any LLM in principle, but the basic Sims-like gamification behind a tamagotchi seems like a solid foundation for those usecases.
