Great question. I'd love to know if anyone has had any success with handheld buttons/bluetooth remotes or similar, too.

Because the comment is just a copy/paste of the content at the URL at the top of the comment; which doesn’t add anything to the discussion, because it’s not discussion at all. It’s just a wall of text, it’s not clear to me why you’re posting it as a comment (vs linking to it), and simply regurgitating copy/pasted external information isn’t helpful or interesting.

Next time, write a sentence or two of context about what you’re going to link to — who wrote it and when, why it’s interesting, and how/why it’s relevant to the topic at hand.

There’s almost never a need to copy/paste wholesale external content into an HN comment. Especially true when said content is literally linkable, and actually linked, from your comment!

I’m sure that structural engineers will be heavily involved. While there are some things to consider or worry about, I don’t know that any of your concerns are actually valid things to be overly worried about.

They’re certainly all solvable and I have no doubt that the PE(s) putting their stamps on it will have valid proven solutions that check out mathematically.

I've done a lot of work on realtime obstacle avoidance that scales well (targeting ~60-100k agents) -- steering behaviors, flow fields, RVO2/ORCA, and lots more -- for agent-based "old school" tycoon-style simulation games. :)

I'm super intrigued by what you've created, especially to hear about running it in a compute shader! I'd love to talk with you more about it, if you're open to it? I briefly looked for a way to get in touch directly but didn't see any contact info -- my email is in my profile, I'd love to connect! :)

It appears to be back online as of 8:30AM PT. I saw it down an hour ago or so, but seems to be operating as usual again now.

That was quicker than I had expected, though I thought they'd probably find a way to avert even a temporary shutdown to begin with.

Love it. SimAirport makes extensive use of flow fields -- they're one of the numerous different pathfinding/following systems we use in the game -- but a very important one as they obviously can scale extremely well with agent count.

In SimAirport they're used in a hierarchical way, primarily & specifically for "one level" of the game's overall hierarchical pathfinding systems (longer-distance paths), and they're critical to the game's ability to handle lots of agents.

Always love seeing your content here, Amit! :)

Somewhat tangential, but here's a cool somewhat open-source project related to Dolby Atmos:

https://cavern.sbence.hu/cavern/

https://github.com/VoidXH/Cavern

The visualizer, which is what I was _most_ interested in (along with software decoding) is written in C# and the rendering is done in Unity -- both things I valued & thought were cool. In theory, you could build a DIY multi-channel "receiver" with this type of software if given enough audio outputs (and/or put something like Dante to use).

I explored it a bit further but it's relatively cost prohibitive, especially if you want to do something like accept HDMI input, it gets messy. AFAICT, at least when I went down this research path a few months back, even finding & getting dev kits/boards with HDMI input (of semi-recent generation) was non-trivial & pretty pricey.

Glad to see Don Hopkins mentioned, I came to this thread hoping he had seen it & commented already. I'm curious to hear his thoughts on it! I know he loves radial menus, understandably so -- they really can be quite effective.

One of the more common approaches to AI in games is called GOAP [0][1] (Goal Oriented Action Planning), and it essentially "selects" which action set using the same concept -- graph searching (typically using A*) the available options.

Creator of SimAirport here. We fought EAs opposition to the trademark and won; we did the same for the SimCasino trademark. :)

Likewise, Amit is phenomenal and the content (and especially its presentation) is really second to none. The value he places on ensuring links stay working, and that content is accurate and updated — is truly phenomenal and almost inconceivable these days.

I’ve also always enjoyed every (virtual) interaction I’ve had with him, however brief — and appreciate that he remembers me and the problems/challenges we faced in my games.

SimAirport and SimCasino very likely wouldn’t be the same (or would have taken much longer to achieve, at best) without his content.

Just a class act; one of these days I’d love to buy Amit a beer or a coffee. My invite doesn’t expire, perhaps next time you’re in the area! :)

I have to ask, sincerely -- how many hours does one put into a game that does have a good "end game"?

As a game developer myself, when someone asks me what it's like to make games during a casual conversation, one of my favorite "go-to"s is to talk about reviews -- that it's so gratifying to see people who have paid <$30 and received hundreds of hours of entertainment. And then I inevitably mention the flip side of the coin, when you receive a negative review from someone with hundreds or more hours (who also paid <$30).

Everyone's entitled to their opinion of a game (or anything else, for that matter), obviously. I do feel that the collective bar has risen quite dramatically for games though (for many totally valid reasons).

Sometimes I (rhetorically) wonder about other forms of entertainment (ie movies), how they can remain viable with such starkly different time-per-dollar value propositions!
