I've now managed to get both "Spaceship" and "Space Ship". I feel like this game really needs to have some logic to avoid having two words that are essentially identical.

#182This shows quite well that AI has zero common sense whatsoever, the results of most combinations I made are just nonsense. The associations are really vague and to me it is not interesting at all to look at random pictures and words appearing out of totally unrelated stuff. I really like man-made alchemy games though where all combinations are pre-defined and actually feel right.
I wouldn't say that AI has "zero" common sense. Rather it has a lot of common sense. For example, I wondered what would happen with "wind" and "paper". Perhaps paper ... storm? No, "kite". It's better than me.
Re: Infinite Craft
#183As a additional twist it might be fun to also have the option to 'remove' one concept from the other.
Currently i have 'Wind farm' and I'd wish i could try going to 'farm' by removing 'wind' from it.

Re: Infinite Craft
#186Was working on the very same idea alongside a friend of mine, we happened to launch a few weeks ago. Quite a lot more fleshed out than Neal's version, if anyone wants to check it out! https://allchemy.io/ Edit: sorry if anyone is bumping into errors! We're running into bottlenecks with our supposedly auto-scaling database - working on it
I think the slow animation + fullscreen notification removes a good portion of the fun of the game. The stats are neat, but I wonder if using a log feed (like a killfeed in call of duty) would be a more enjoyable experience for the user. I love how fast infinite craft is to iterate through the combinations while the "allchemy" approach makes it feel like I have a crafting time attached to every new combination

Re: Infinite Craft
#187Always a delight to see a Neal fun link here. I was able to get to Dandelion after many combos! Hoping it gets to human soon. Will try to extract the full tree from the code :)
achieved with this:
wind + earth -> dust + dust -> sand + fire -> glass + fire -> lens + lens -> telescope + lens -> galileo
glass + sand -> hourglass + sand -> time + gallileo -> einstein + time -> relativity + einstein -> theory + time -> evolution + time -> human
There's probably a shorter and less convoluted path somewhere.
Re: Infinite Craft
#188I managed to kinda break it. I managed to get “Steam Engine” and “Hacker”. I combined those to make “Steam Punk”. (Fair enough.) Everything that’s combined with Steam Punk ends up being stupid and boring. Steam Punk + Zombie = “Steam Zombie” Steam Punk + Hacker = “Steam Hacker” Steam Punk + UFO, which you’d think would be “Zeppelin” or something, is instead “Steam UFO”. Steam Punk + Illusion is, bafflingly, “Steampun…
I had a first discovery for 'Justice League of Mars', then one for 'Justice League of Moon', but not for the 'Justice League of Mars and Moon'

#189Earlier quoted context omitted.
You can just click / tap on 2 items consecutively, without drag and drop.
I don't understand what you mean. Clicking does absolutely nothing for me. Clicking items in the right column does nothing; clicking items I've already placed does nothing. Clicking items consecutively does nothing, in either part of the screen. I don't see how to use this at all without drag and drop.
On mobile you click, on desktop you drag and drop.

#190Earlier quoted context omitted.
Tree + Water = river was also pretty baffling. Unfortunate. I can see the appeal of using an LLM for this but the results are pretty mediocre.
Meh, what would be your great response to Tree + Water? A human can only generate a small fraction of the combinations and would have a hard time coming up with most combinations which are already nonsensical. What is your non-disappointing idea for, idk, Tears + Pottery (AI: Bowl) or Money + Salt Lick (AI: Cow) or Skull + Lake (AI: Loch Ness) or Dracula + Pirate (AI: Vampirate) or Curse + Money (AI: Debt)? Now do th…
