"Oh, he [a big dog] hunts with papa," she said. "He says Don
Carlos [the
dog] is good for almost every kind of game. He went duck
hunting one time
and did real well at it. Then Papa bought some ducks, not
wild ducks but,
you know, farm ducks. And it got Don Carlos all mixed up.
Since the
ducks were always around the yard with nobody shooting at
them he knew he
wasn't supposed to kill them, but he had to do something.
So one morning
last spring, when the ground was still soft, he took all the
ducks and
buried them." "What do you mean, buried them?" "Oh, he
didn't hurt them.
He dug little holes all over the yard and picked up the
ducks in his mouth
and put them in the holes. Then he covered them up with mud
except for
their heads. He did thirteen ducks that way and was digging
a hole for
another one when Tony found him. We talked about it for a
long time. Papa
said Don Carlos was afraid the ducks might run away, and
since he didn't
know how to build a cage he put them in holes. He's a smart
dog."

His cd artwork, his interviews, his appearance... He might
be the reincarnated god of mischief... er, or maybe the god
of mischief since I assume gods are immortal and can't be
reincarnated, especially since I'm mixing like two different
religions, or something. A cool thing about streetfighter is
just letting it run and watching the demos since every
single match has randomly chosen characters that play in
real time (not just a recording like in most games' demos).
You could let the thing run for like a century and keep a
constant tally of who wins the most ie. the one with the
best strategy relative to the population of strategies. This
reminds me of some thing I'm vaguely remember in my seaweed
brain about richard dawkins (i think) holding a competition
for the program with the best strategy to compete among a
population submitted by other programmers. Too bad I can't
remember many details. "tit for tat" was the winner though.
It simply mimicked the behavior of it's enemy. If it wasn't
attacked, it wouldn't attack back, if it was, it would. Or
something. Fig newtons. I have brain mold.

I bet zangief and ryu and ken's computed fighting behaviors
would come out on top. Balrog would be near the bottom. He
loses in almost every demo. Actually m bison usually loses
too.

hahaha

the last assignment in my 1 CS class this semester is a
chess program, and we go against everyone else in the class,
including the professor, and matches are constantly played
and standings constantly updated... muhahahaha

I'll try to find out some more. Was he ever more.. ah..
straightforward? I have no idea where he's coming from on
this shit. All these weird discrete noises synchronized up
on beats...

yeah I bet the demos are cool to have running in the
background, and pay attention now and then. I wish there
were easter eggs.. but programming is a lot of work.

Today I was on xlt for like 10 hours. I have done every
homework assignment this week in <1hr. definitely brain
mold as well.

zangief is really that good? just hard to use?

I pulled a bagel out of a bag today, and the underside was
green. Never been surprised by something like that before,
I totally didn't notice. brain seaweed in visual cortex

His programmed behavior is good, but he's hard to
actually play with. Same with deejay. Damn, making a chess
program would be hard... You have to use heuristics, not
algorithms do to the complexity... right? I wonder if tit
for tat would work well with chess, maybe not since the
one-player-goes-first- setup reduces the symmetry and
eventually mirroring would no longer work. I've heard a
slightly more straightforward track on some compilation I
forgot the name of but didn't like it much. That was before
he found the magic ring of IDM and decided to use it for
evil of course. Gangser of DSP.

There's an algorithm for lots of games called minimax where
at each step you assume your opponent will do the best
possible option.. this could be considered tit for tat (tit
for sucking) on steroids--you're reacting to a tree of
predictions.

There are shitloads of heuristics used to cull the search
space, which is monstruously huge. I've heard some
crackheads say it is greater than the number of atoms in the
universe. assholes.

it will be very hard. Some really bright dude asked me if he
can work with me on it, and we're both going to be very
competitive, so I hope it goes well.. I'll keep you posted.

w M w is the best.

Actually I have since figured something out about super
street fighter 2 demos: They are unfair: Before each fight
one of the characters who will fight is featured in a stats
screen: this character always plays at a higher difficulty
than the other one.

minimax theorem gives the existence of such an equilibrium

look to NASH EQUILIBRIA for general sum games.

I've written AI for games before. It's fun. I always
wondered how the Street Fighter 2 AI worked... It's not very
good, but it's decent if you put it on a high difficulty
(which just makes it do more damage in a cheaty cheaty sort
of way.)

I wrote an AI for Tetris Attack (well, my own clone I made)
once. It was decent and could do combos, but to no where
NEAR the level of the AI in the SNES Tetris Attack, which is
pretty damned good. Actually, the TA remake on the GBA has
extremely excellent AI... WMW you should check out Tetris
Attack if you haven't played it before. Don't let the name
fool you; it's not one of those crappy Tetris cash-in
games!

The best way to play street fighter by far imo is with the
genesis 6 button controller. The AI has kept this game
eternally fun for me. I've played it more than all other
genesis games put together. One game I started playing
almost as much is super puzzle fighter 2 for ps1 (as soon as
I get my computer set up, I'll probably be playing hell
revealed for doom again mostly) I'm going to buy tetris
attack now; thanks for the suggestion. I might have already
played it; I forget, I probably just played tetris 2. Now
when I play street fighter I only play on the highest
difficulty and have the additional goal of never losing a
single match to keep it challenging (since I memorized a lot
of the patterns, yet despite this it often remains
challenging with few ways to 'cheat' (unlike mortal kombat
and the vast majority of other copies which is lame gameplay
wise)).

I bought a bunch of gamegear games on a whim; what a crap
system. So many cookie cutter side scrollers (I swear this
one game called itchy and scratchy (simpsons)
somethingerather took the exact game bonks adventure and
just traded the sprites for itchies and scratchies (they
left the volcanoes and dinosaur skeletons even, and the
music was very similar).

oops I typed.
