second devlog of a neural network playing Touhou, though now playing the second stage of Imperishable Night with 8 players (lives). the NN can "see" the whole iwndow rather than just the neighbouring entities.

comment from video:

the main issue with inputting game data relatively was how tricky it was to get the NN to recognise the bounds of the window which lead to it regularly trying to move out of the bounds of the game. an absolute view of the game has mostly fixed this issue.

the NN does generally perform better now; it is able to move its way through bullet patterns (01:38) and at one point in testing was able to stream - moving slowly while many honing bullets move in your direction.

• neural network is trained with deep Q-learning in its own training environment
• controls the game with twinject

demonstration video of the neural network playing Touhou (Imperishable Night):

it actually makes progress up to the stage boss which is fairly impressive. it performs okay in its training environment but performs poorly in an existing bullet hell game and makes a lot of mistakes.

let me know your thoughts and any questions you have!

don't know if this is the correct community to post this on, but is there a way to style Reddit (most likely old Reddit but it doesn't matter) with a similar style to Lemmy? there are a few small subreddits I still browse (because there is no Lemmy equivalent) and it would be cool if I could style it like the regular Lemmy style (if you need an example: lemmy.ml)

I know there are frontends for viewing Lemmy instances like Reddit, but I haven't heard of any way to do the reverse.

it could be through a stylesheet, an alternative frontend, even just a pointer on how you could style a website into a different style.
thanks!

so I was looking at someone's personal website from Mastodon, and noticed that they had banners to advertise other people's servers. while server lists like fediring exist, I was thinking of a more automatic method of advertisement within someone's website.

the concept is this: people could store advertisements (small banners, gifs) on their websites with a server and people willing to embed them could use an API to retrieve a random ad onto their website.

people would self-host their ads and "federate" with other websites to embed other ads on their website. not sure if this would scale up as well, though.

what do you think? just curious on lemmy's POV

edit: going by the comments, this idea is quite flawed and webrings (in small sizes) are a better approach.

thanks for the help
