For inputs, roundabout but easiest ways I know is to either just get a Pro Micro and use the gamepad library in Arduino IDE to make it a serial-to-gamepad adapter, or use it in conjunction with a cheapest no-brand knockoff Xbox 360 controller(which are easier than genuine controllers to mod as well) and solder digital/analog out from Arduino to digital/analog sensing pads for the same effect.

The latter allows real Xbox 360 to be used(don’t go online with it, that is cheating). Xbox 360 is past EOL so I bet they can be had for cheap, steps to capture is well explained by millions of wannabe streamers, and probably less tedious to set up at the same time than a PC.

I see your point and I agree with it. But I also want to remark that in many ways, building a company is also a silly thing that in fact requires skill. I mean, I'm pretty sure I'd be way richer right now if I had just taken a job at some bigco. Or kept doing consulting. I don't feel that what I'm doing right now (building a startup because I can) is fundamentally different from my demoscene past (coding computer gra…

It is - Tikej's point isn't that it's not a skill - but rather that it's not the right place to share these. Think of the difference between a "Startup News" and "Hacker News". Hacker news used to be very deep on tech topics, now those deep topic have become more rare.

Very true, but it is hosted by ycombinator which exists to fund startups.

I'd love to see this done in Forza, although I'm sure that's optimizing for the wrong kind of driving behavior (lol) Amazing work!

A'I' in racing games is already a cracked problem I think (unless you mean forza horizon?). The AIs in Rfactor2 are even pretty good wheel to wheel on some tracks - definitely a lot better than online rookies who are quick but blind. The only noticeable thing is that they don't learn over the course of a race. They seem to be programmed to make mistakes realistically, i.e. if the car loses grip in the wet they don't…

Sure, but this is a different kind of agent - one that takes screen frames as input, rather than one that has direct access to game state.

I remember an early pg quote where he noted that being a hacker isn’t supposed to be limit to coding or tech even, but all topics that hackers are drawn to and can ply their hacking in. Social hacking to bootstrap a userbase is a on-topic as far as that quote is concerned [edit: errant autocorrect]
