You are Very Tired (extremely tired + coffee).
You are Hungry.
TIME: 7:35am

Needs updating.

The majority wanted to

Yes! Sleep, and meet him tomorrow. If you have time after sleeping and before meeting him, try to program a simpler flash game, less than 1 hour's worth of complexity, and show it to him. Ask what he likes and dislikes.

Although I'd be happy to check on our game first.

You didn't update the status or time.

Work on new Tetris-style game for an hour, then meet up with dude.


Armok, what exactly are you proposing? How will it simulate what the brain wants without actually simulating the brain?
And most importantly, has it ever actually been made? Can you provide a link to, say, a news article about one? Or is it beyond man's capability at the current time?

By modelling only part of it, a simplified needs model. Not accurate of course, but maybe accurate enough for now.

Blah blah blah, people correct me multiple times while I'm doing the goddamned updating.

I'm actually going to just have you eat breakfast too - until the food runs out upstairs, its a free action whenever you're home.

slightly changed post to include time coffee shop closes.

[Cheddarius]

You have brought this upon yourself, Glyph. Your game is too fun for people not to constantly refresh for updates.
Take another nap until you are fully refreshed.
Read Chemistry book for a while.

Shades, I still don't understand. How will he do this?

[GlyphGryph]

It was a total of like three minutes! I don't know how you people can notice, read, and respond that fast, you bastards!

[GlyphGryph]

Yeah, Shades, your idea would probably lower psychology as the chances of anything like that in any way mirroring real brains is... err, slim, at best.

The theory is you can model existing situations that you already have significant human response data for and then using that model with your new situation predict the outcome. I know there are a few papers on it. I don't know if anyone is running a successful model. Armok might know more.

Your probably right in that it wouldn't be enough GlyphGryph. I don't really know enough about to subject to give more than that.

[GlyphGryph]

you might be able to build a basic simulator that works to model A mind, but it wouldn't really mirror in any way the minds that living creatures have, product of billions of years of evolution that they are - unless you had a high enough psychology to make it so, that is.

For now lets just check on our game. Or not... it might hurt our pride.

If it does we will deal with it. Avoiding checking suggests we don't think it's as awesome as it clearly is.

[Acanthus117]

Alright, practice coding ragdoll physics for a simple side-scrolling shoot-em-up with explosions.

[Diakron]

screw ragdoll physics, let's do something like Euphoria

[Acanthus117]

Hmmm.... you do that, WITHOUT DOWNLOADING IT, and come back to me. We're not that skilled yet, bub.

[Diablous]

Let's check our game.
