    I built an agent that helps you build Rollercoaster Tycoon-influenced theme parks. You can prompt something like “Build me a cool theme park” and it’ll build a cohesive theme park with multiple worlds and connected with paths and rides. The weird part is that I built it using the same ideas we use to make AI-generated websites follow a company’s design system. I work as an engineer at Magic Patterns, focused on building our Design System Agent, aimed to use your existing brand, components, and conventions instead of producing something that looks like generic AI-generated UI. By default,…

    Hi HN! I've been tinkering with this mini-game / horror experience for a while. I hope it creeps you out! You can go into settings to toggle between 2 different chatbots: a scripted experience (with achievements to unlock) and a more versatile GPT-3 mode. Let me know what you think! :) There's also a toggle to show how the mouse magic is made. Source is available here: https://github.com/baobabKoodaa/ouija

    Hey! I built this system to humanize NPCs by giving them emotions using Rust and ML.

Think NPCs that remember how they feel about specific players or events. I pre-trained a DistilBERT model on ~1k video game dialogues (Skyrim, Cyberpunk, etc.) and plan to extract and evaluate 100k+ dialogues soon. However studio/team can manually add dialogues to enrich their own dataset. The matrix doesn't generate dialogue, it only analyzes content.…
