Mario Just Blew My Mind




Holy crap. A bunch of wicked smart people are taking part in an Infinite Mario AI competition with some pretty impressive results. Today's Big Thing wrote it up this way:

"Infinite Mario Bros is a flash game that endlessly generates random levels. Right now there is a competition going on to program the best AI to play Infinite Mario. This is one of the entrys. The interesting part is that the AI is only aware of what's on the screen and it doesn't have a lot of time to compute, so having a faster computer will actually make it better at playing Mario."

Well said. But it doesn't have the same impact as watching the clip, when suddenly the idea becomes clear. And cool!
