An AI plays Pokémon, the science of Monkey Island grog, and a koi pond to stare at
Max Glenister
A round-up of what caught my eye on social.omgmog.net between 21 and 27 September, an AI let loose on Pokémon, an actual paper on Monkey Island’s grog, and a koi pond that cost me more of my afternoon than I’d like to admit.
A fan recreation of the Xbox Live Arcade version of Portal, extra challenge chambers and all (14 of them, if you’re counting).
Solitaire, except everyone else playing it is doing so in the same shared space as you. Oddly nice.
An actual academic paper asking whether Monkey Island’s grog could really dissolve a metal mug that fast. Exactly the kind of nonsense I’m here for.
Factorio’s dev team put out 3D printable models of the game’s units this week. A factory you can actually hold.
An AI model playing through the whole of Pokémon Red, live and in public. Watching it figure out Mt. Moon is a whole vibe.
F-Droid 2.0 landed this week, a proper redesign of the open source Android app store.
A generator that builds a “bastard” webfont by mashing together random glyphs from a handful of other fonts. Chaotic, and kind of great.
An interactive 2.5D dinosaur painting, parallax and soundtrack included, made by Opus 5.5. 🦖
Watch some fish. A koi pond to stare at, a place to do nothing.
Search, watch and download public domain archival footage, shot by shot. Dangerous for an afternoon.
