First post! Excited to announce you can now upload your own games, simulations and interactive mini sites to WikiSim! For example here's Noughts and Crosses (Tic-Tac-Toe) wikisim.org/wiki/1031
It's been a long journey to get to this point 🌱 The end of the beginning awaits!...

Looking forward to the day I wake up to find someone else has shared their own game / sim to help make sense of our complex world.
Noughts and Crosses is just a toy game but I'm now working on some follow up sims that will have more depth and potential for insights!

Got our first proper prototype sim on WikiSim! You can explore how to power to UK or Texas using the actual hourly electricity demand data from 2018 alongside wind and solar potential energy generation from www.renewables.ninja

WikiSim now has three new features for building and exploring models: a "Use Previous Result" option, and a table and a graph view to complement the JSON data view.
1. You can now feedback the result of the model into the next iteration with the "Use Previous Result" option, as shown here ... 🧵

Was just talking with a friend about AI for assisting writing fiction and non-fiction and with every iteration you have to drag it back out of its ruts and its "jargonising" otherwise left to itself it will deliver you some prose slop where nothing happens.

For anyone joining a game jam team, our team just drafted this 3 sentence agreement. It's lightweight, clear (helps set expectations) and should go some way towards protecting everyone from the worse version of themselves. Thanks to the @indiegameclinic.bsky.social community for the help!

This was a great Video Game jam. The "forced" collaboration with other artists produced some much more interesting results IMO and I certainly found it stretched my brain in new ways 😆 Looking forward to the next one.
sharing it again because the musicians and artists deserve more love. our summer musicvideogame jam was a blast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sT6s...

A latest AI LLM admitted its solution contained a "Major security flaw". A good reminder that LLM's do not give security critical code a higher risk and extra "thought"... you still need to know what the problems can be.

Someone needs to organise a SummonJam. I just organised a jam last month so I am exempt (but I will jam!)
Nintendo has successfully acquired a US patent covering the ability to summon characters in a game and make them battle for you.

Would be great if the article suggested people to try a wet suit if they find the pool too cold. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Of course reducing wealth inequality, increasing energy security, insulation and passive solar gain would likely be the long term structural solutions.
