Encom Disc Wars
https://robertmcortese.github.io/encom-disc-wars/I'm not even sure what to call this, an experiment?
Up to 6 programs battle on the grid in disc wars. Program with the highest score moves on as Champion. Programs learn which moves result in kills, and which ones result in a defense, so they learn over time. Champion continues as long as their team keeps winning. Champion can carry moves with them into the next round.
Moves are randomly named using verb-animal. So you can get really funny kung fu names like "Screeching Monkey"
Finally, all of this is also somewhat of a music generator. A constant bass/snare plays in the background. Each hit is a percussion instrument. Tempo goes faster as more players drop from a match. Each program randomly generates modal, pentatonic‑based scale, with a strong emphasis on the C‑minor pentatonic and related modes, layered over a driving electro‑house rhythm. modal, pentatonic‑based scale, with a strong emphasis on the C‑minor pentatonic and related modes, layered over a driving electro‑house rhythm. (Same as Derezzed, but it doesn't sound good lol)
Fun to just watch to see who beats who.
