Seems like over on X something similar blew up: x.com/fofrAI/statu.... We want it real-time, on-device, and self-trained.

A tiny, endless, real-time, perfect-memory, neural network world.

Grid-based noise is a beautiful and strange world.

About 50k synthetic renders + mouse 'burns' the hovered latents, hence the fun warping.
More experiments to come :)

Thanks! This model is tiny. Only a few million parameters. Runs at 60 fps minimum and memory usage is v low (can't recal exact numbers).

tinyautoencoder + fine-tuned 1-step small diffusion model. You can see the generation quality is poor because of num inference steps. But works for early testing.

Exploring a new rendering approach.

UI overhaul. Next: more environment types, entity types, and -- cows & turtles!

SickoSims

wow yea, would love to know what it is. Gonna do some digging

very WIP world selection menu, but the flow is there: select init envs -> discover new things per env. Save and load. Demoing some interaction in the island environment.

SimEarth?

Different views let you see the mineral, temperature, and moisture distribution in the environment. This helps you find where 'sinks' are, and balance the ecosystem.

The simulation supports different water types, minerals, and plants grow and decay according to mineral conditions in the soil.

Some game about rewilding and nature and complex systems. In the works.

You can have the tiny neural network output latent values instead of RGB. Then pass this into Tiny AutoEncoder (github.com/madebyollin/...) for a 512x512 upscale. Not bad!

You can also condition the tiny neural network on different textures, and then interpolate them for interesting render effects.

Interpolating between the shape representations causes some interesting effects in the small neural network.
