<h1>slimeAI - state transition diagram </h1>

blessfrey's slimes use finite state machines. <b>Finite state machines</b> (FSM) are models with a finite number of states that either decide to generate output or transition to a new state based on input. They can only be in one state at a time. <br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<h2>why use a finite state machine? </h2><br>
|
||||
Because they are simple and flexible, while still allowing for interesting behavior. FSMs reflect our own mental model of how slimes behave (attack mode, wander mode, sleep mode, etc). These different modes or states are written as manageable chunks that easy to code, debug, update, and refactor. It's also efficient with processor time, since the behavior is abstracted to basic conditionals. <br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
A state can be as broad or specific as you need, so long as it's granular. So they can be more easily debugged and swapped out with one another, it's a good idea to have one entry point and one exit point for all your states.<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Of course, since FSMs can be used for anything with states and transitions. You can think of specific menus, mechanics or even your entire game in terms of states. I'm just using them here for understanding the AI for my slime monster. <br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<h2>designing AI </h2><br>
|
||||
Planning ahead is extra important, since any dead-ends will halt your slime. I used a state transition diagram to design the slime's AI. In the diagram, circles represent states and arrows represent transitions, triggered by some kind of event. I marked the initial state with a star, but Buckland recommends a double circle. <br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
The slime is a simple creature. It idles, chases anything that gets too close, and attacks until its target dies. Here's the diagram version of that:<br>
|
||||
<br><center>
|
||||
<img src="/static/img/ent/slimeai_diagram.png" alt="(image: a state transition diagram for slime ai.)" width="500" height="250"><br>
|
||||
</center>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
The states are Idle, Choose Target, Attack, and Move to Target. The initial state is Idle. <br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
If there's a valid target, the slime enters Choose Target. If there's no longer a valid target, it returns to Idle. If it successfully gets a target, it begins moving to target. If the target becomes invalid, it returns to Idle. Once the target is in attack range, it enters Attack. If the foe moves out of range, it returns to Move to Target. If the target becomes invalid, it returns to Choose Target. And the cycle continues. <br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
No matter how you follow the arrows, there are no dead-ends and all states can be reached eventually, so it'll work okay when it's implemented as code. <img src="/static/img/emo/heart.gif" alt="<3"><br>

It's an easy to understand introduction to game math + AI concepts. The code examples are in C++, but they are still useful for understanding the underlying principles. I didn't even know where to begin before I started reading and it got me pretty decent groundwork for AI creatures with different behavior that reacts to the players.<img src="/static/img/emo/heart.gif" alt="<3"> <br>

<h2><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJiv14uPOac">Empathizing with Steam: How People Shop for Your Game </a></h2><br>
|

Chris Zukowski (2020) <br>
|
||||
tips for how to design your Steam store page based on Zukowski's screenshare and shopping diary observations of ordinary people shopping on Steam <br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Essentially, make your gameplay genre absolutely clear within the first 4 screenshots and in the short description so that people will wishlist your game to buy during a seasonal Steam Sale. </li>
|
||||
<li>Approach your wishlisters as complete newcomers. Jazz up your Steam page before a Steam Sale. Release an update, post in your forums, put a Santa hat on your character. When wishlisters return to your page, they will see an active game and be sold on it all over again. </li>
|
||||
<li>His conclusions are very similar to how I shop on Steam, except I could care less for the tag section. </li>
|
||||
<li>The romantic indie fiction section on Amazon dwarves the indie game section on Steam. To be immediately visible to their audience, romance authors follow a clear visual language on their covers to communicate their genres and sub-genres. Zukowski uses this as an extreme method for attracting your audience using the tropes of your genre, pointing out common UI elements and the shooter guy on every FPS cover. </li>

<h1>Magic: A Fantastic Comedy in a Prelude and Three Acts</b> - G.K. Chesterton (1913) </h1>
|
||||
january 8, 2020<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Did you know G.K. Chesterton wrote a play? Its existence really surprised me while browsing Project Gutenberg. I know him mostly as the author of The Everlasting Man and lots of other books about philosophy and religion. He's not stuffy, though. His style is so poetic and dramaticized through use of personification, he makes the topics as enjoyable as fiction...at least, from what I remember. It's been 10 years since I read anything else by him. <br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Apparently, George Bernard Shaw wrote a letter pressuring him into drama because he felt he was wasting his talent on journalist. (According to <a href="https://www.chesterton.org/lecture-25/">Chesterton University's Lecture 25: Magic by Dale Ahlquist</a>) <br>
|
||||
"I shall deliberately destroy your credit as an essayist, as a journalist, as a critic, as a Liberal, as everything that offers your laziness as a refuge, until starvation and shame drive you to serious dramatic parturition. I shall repeat my public challenge to you; vaunt my superiority; insult your corpulence; torture Belloc; if necessary, call on you and steal your wife’s affections by intellectual and athletic displays, until you contribute something to British drama." (also from that <a href="https://www.chesterton.org/lecture-25/">link</a>) <br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
You can read Magic, too, at <a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/files/19094/19094-h/19094-h.htm">Project Gutenberg</a>. Plays are meant to be performed, though, so hopefully you can find something on Youtube at least. <br>

<h1>Drinker of Souls - Jo Clayton (1986) </h1>
|
||||
january 8, 2020<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
I usually read classics or philosophy, so I thought I'd cut loose and read my first 80s science fiction novel: Drinker of Souls, from Jo Clayton's Drinker of Souls trilogy. Unfortunately, Clayton's novels are probably all out of print and won't be entering the public domain for a long, long time. I found mine at a thrift store. <br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
I just picked up a random scifi book, but apparently the Skeen Trilogy by this author is more popular. <br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Review here
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
I read half of the next book, Blue Magic, but it was kind of boring and the characters were less interesting for me. It explored more parallel worlds, all with dramatically different levels of technology and magic. It had that 'wizards using computers' aesthetic that isn't done often enough. The setting reminded me of the Sigil in Planescape: Torment, how characters from all over get trapped in Brann's world. There was the guy from a futuristic trapped there with his phaser, like that number tattoo guy in the Buried Village who tells you about his cyberpunk world. <br>
