I started to develop my own game #gamedev

The game should handle a lot of data, so I thought a lot about engines:
1. #bevy -> cool, but underdeveloped
2. selfmade engine -> progress was slow
3. currently: a c++ game (gamelogic) connected to #Godot (for graphical stuff)

and I think it looks cool:

Next to the comments already made:

I guess (and I might be wrong), that people will get better at identifying AI-images over time - not consciously, but subconsciously.

So, I guess, that an impressive AI artwork from today could look bland for people in a few years time

...my advice:
1. Think really hard, if you really want to do this

2. Never use linear transformations for movements, etc.. Always use something more smooth.

3/3

The result:
1. I have now my own "R-engine" for animated plot (e.g. for animated smileys in scatterplots)

2. It was way too much work to make this and this wouldn't make economic sense (it was a hobby pet project though)

If you want to do something similar...

2/3

Regarding the making of this animation #rstats #RStudio

1. Everything was made with #ggplot:
- 1 png for each frame
- merging with av_encode_video()

2. Everything in this animation was drawn:
- the bears and smileys are a set of polygons
- exception: My logo (which I added with geom_image)

1/3

Interesting

My attempt to make animations with R:
I used ggplot to make one plot for each frame
-> stored them into a folder
-> used the the library "av" to merge them to a video

Everything was drawn in ggplot - no images were included (with the exception of my logo)

Today, I fell into the rabbit hole of #stopkillinggames and #piratesoftware . Crazy story overall.

As a side note:
With this topic, the EU has a chance to improve its image among young people; as well as motivating them to be more politically active.

I hope the EU doesn't mess this up

This project was rotting on my hard drive for a while. I thought it is too good to let it just stay there (even if it is not perfect)

It is the result of the question: Can you make cool looking animation with #RProgramming ?
The answer is "yes", although rendering times were bad

Did you know, that brown bears can make entire countries happier?

For statistical evidence of that fact, see the animation below
#rstats #ggplot #statistics #correlation #causation #Rprogramming #TidyTuesday #DataViz #RStudio

(this is of course meant to be humoristic)
