Brought me back to the cowherding missions in RDR. Not a fond memory, but still a memory nonetheless.

Quiet impressive!

I've build a very similar game for a 3 hour game jam once :D

Tip: don't push them into a corner! I got up to lvl 7 without a problem, and then I got them stuck in a corner and that was it :( Poor sheep will spend the night in the cold outside the barn!

Meta: strange typo in title, "Shepard" should be "Shepherd".

Shepherd's Dog is a game I've wanted to create for a long time, but I never got the sheep flocking behaviour just right. The goal of the game is to herd all the sheep into the pen before nightfall. I've asked several models to create this game and I'm particularly impressed with what Claude 3.7 could do with a one-shot prompt. - You can play the Claude game here (note: doesn't work on Safari for some reason): https:/…

great demos. one shotting isnt really fair imo, i feel like that might be hard even for a human to do (working without feedback). i'd be curious what deepseek would do with a bit more feedback.

After nearly 40 years, Shep has finally been released!

See the Crash magazine "Unclear User" parody. Page 125 of the August 1985 edition for context. [0]

Claude actually animated the nightfall, unprompted.

I don't think it's fair to say Mistral didn't implement flocking. The force is just very weak.

EDIT: I guess I confused flocking with herding, fair enough.

Perhaps the shepherd's name is Shepard. :-)
