Good morning beautiful!!! ❤️ I hope you slept so well last night 💕 I dreamt of you all night long 🥰 also I was wondering, should I break my alliance with the coastal folk and aid you in a surprise pincer maneuver, or is it cool if I finish burning the cities of the desert kingdoms? Okay I love you bye!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

So, I was playing polytopia today (it's 3:30am rn lol) and I would like to show y'all what it looked like near the end

The blues were me, I had 22 super units (the big ones) against one city.

Is this over kill? Possibly. Do I care? No.

“POLYTOPIA” started in 2021, the second year of the pandemic to follow Co-iki’s  first remote residency “Creativity from Home” in 2020. 

The participating creators from different parts of the world came together to cocreate our POLYTOPIA delving into the concept of locality in this changing era.

February 24th, 2022.

That was the very day of our final presentation and wrap-up of POLYTOPIA , when the full-scale war started in Ukraine, in our fellow artists’ country. 

5am in Ukraine, 12 at noon in Japan. Urgent messages have been exchanged. 

We decided to postpone our event but just to pray for our friends. Everybody got together online,  remotely praying and caring for each other.   Breathing in synchrony.

2 years of breathing.

Where do we stand now? 

Here, we stand and live again.

From Ukraine, Myanmar, India, Indonesia and Japan, we are coming together to resume, regenerate and reshape our POLYTOPIA in this physical space of Melbourne city. 

We wish this exhibition will be a connecting point of polytopic times, spaces, localities and identities, as well as to invent a way of co-existing in various remote conditions. 

---------------------

POLYTOPIA is a remote residency program that started with the pandemic in 2020 and was run from 2021 to 2022, with artists from Ukraine, Japan, Myanmar, Taiwan, Indonesia, Nigeria, India, and other countries in various ocial and cultural situations. The program has been developed as a remote residency program in which participating artists and cultural workers collaborate to conduct their own research and creation remotely. 

The program has also provided an online forum for artists from each participating country to engage in dialogue with Japanese artists, curators, residency administrators, and other cultural professionals to share their different situations, ideas, and activities. 

This will be an opportunity to further consider what kind of safety nets and programs we can develop as an international residency network, and to share them with people from various sectors of society and culture in Melbourne and other cities around the world.

Ok, ich habe die Musk Biografie gelesen und bin angefixt.

Wave Function Collapse

That's right! I'm starting a new project, based entirely upon personal interest that will most certainly negatively impact my GPA. This new function is creating a procedurally generated Unity Tile Map using Wave Function Collapse methodology. I aim to use this marvelous piece of software in other systems later in my career, so understanding the fundamentals now is vital.

My obsession began after becoming hooked on the 4X (eXplore, exPand, eXploit, eXterminate) mobile game, The Battle of Polytopia. This cute little war simulator is essentially a more digestible Civilization game. Most relevant, is the game's core feature of replay-ability by using a new procedurally generated map each game (see below). Each player's tribe has a unique set of influences that alter the frequency of each tile type. This creates a connection to their land, and makes venturing past the familiar natural land formations a daunting experience as unknown threats lie within the fog of war.

Polytopia map generation has 2 core tile types at play - land and sea. The above picture demonstrates the relationship they share: where land and sea are orthogonally adjacent, a coastal sea (light blue) tile is used. Within this outer hierarchy are many more layers of rules that will alter resource spawns in an attempt at a fair player experience.

These colorful maps are all the result of the Wave Function Collapse formula, which is what I hope to imitate.

My current progress is what inspired this blog post. A clear and detailed Unity tutorial by Sunny Valley Studio is teaching me the first few steps of this algorithm. Using episode 12 of the tutorial, I have created an algorithm to recognise distinct tiles in a map. From this stage, relationship patterns of each tile will be analyzed to help create an entirely new tile map.

The algorithm has indexed and returned the tiles as the center of the grid, starting from the bottom left: [5, 6, 6] [3, 0, 5] [0, 1, 2] As shown, the pair of 'path ends' and 'forest' tiles have the same index. The outer edge of numbers are predictions based on the inner tiles. This will be useful in later episodes, I'm told.

Regardless, thanks for reading my first installment in this new project.

What would you do in this situation?

[someguyiguess]

realizing that my playstyle in most strategy games being deeply reminiscent of US foreign policy throughout it’s history might have something to do with being raised in the US and thus subject to propaganda combined with a lifelong interest in US history.

like. its practically the same. build a strong productive and scientific base and use that to become both well developed and flexible enough to respond to problems quickly. overwhelm the wartime enemy with numerous advanced weapons. air power air power air power. even in peacetime regard other powers with suspicion and belligerence until it is clear they cannot get in the way of our goals. even allies are to be treated as potential enemies. cooperate with nobody unless they are nigh powerless to stop us or too powerful for us to stop. landgrab landgrab landgrab. use force as soon as subversion is not enough.

like even an official declared alliance is treated the same way the soviets were in world war two. you’re our allies only because we need you, not because we like you. the second the common enemy is removed you are nothing more than said enemy was to us.

[fictionyoubelieve]

still baffling to me that Musk brags about Polytopia like it has any gamer cred. It’s like being good at Solitaire: a genuine skill, but with considerable luck involved, and not remotely similar to Diablo or PoE2
