This interactive maze generator is a proof of concept of a procedural framework for creating dungeons and labyrinths. The input is a simple seed defining a pattern of walls and hallways. This seed is fed into a recursive algorithm that, with just a few small variants, can produce vastly different types of environments.

How to play:

• Click anywhere to change course.
• Use the up and down arrows to control your speed.
• Drop below warp speed 1.0 for impulse power.

The first program I ever ported was a neural network example found on the web, which I ported to Commodore64. Recently I found a printout of that old code, so I ported it to C++ with QBlock!

This simple program allows you create images and teach them to the neural net. Once you've taught it a few things you can generate random images and the neural network will identify patterns out of the 'noise'.

We've just barely scratched the surface of applications for artificial learning and I think this will be an incredibly important field in the near future, not just for video games and science, but for the public in general.

How to play:

• Click in the left box to create images.
• Pattern recognition occurs in the right box.
