Abstract: In this paper I prove with algebra and propositional logic that problems
(represented as information in a computer system or the the superset p) can theoretically be
solved over time by Artificial Intelligence. I do this by merging relational algebra / set theory
from mathematics (mathematical proof/s), nondeterministic Quantum Physics and computing
theory from theoretical physics (conceptually) and finally using propositional logic for the final
proof to solve the problem P=NP over polynomial time(t) and propose a new law of Quantum
Computing -” T he Quantum Law of pre-processing”
Playtesting this Sandbox Action RPG during development, this is not finished just showing what the general gameplay experience is like at the minute. Jinni will be available on Itch.io once complete for an affordable £2.50. It will feature multiple quests, combat, conversation systems, NPC interactions, and hopefully a multiplayer co-op mode, all set in a post-apocalyptic setting, inspired by both the past and the present. It has been a labour of love and is nearing more of a finished state, though still work to do. More info: https://drnoir.itch.io/jinni Like on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/JinniRPG/
Blank Vortex is a conceptual idea for a brainstorming app being built using Unreal Engine by myself and with ideas and input from Loz Turner who I am collaborating with.
Concept
The user explores immersive environments during which they can shoot ‘nodes’ with each node representing a thought or idea based around whatever theme they are brainstorming over. The general idea is to create environments that inspire creative thought and intuition and then providing a 3D environment that can inspire the process of creative thought. Users are spawned into a central hub (ThinkHub) and then can explore and teleport to several environments each with different unique features and attributes.
So far I have started building the ThinkHub as well as Zero G environment which turns off gravity and allows the player to shoot nodes in zero gravity. The overall aim and objective of the game is to inspire thought, provide an interface for creating mental structures and then also output them in some diagrammatic form.
This video demonstrates the early prototype / proof of concept build.
Mechanics
The players view is first person, and follows a familiar control system of mouse controls to generate new nodes in the game world, each node is assigned a number according to the order of its creation and the user will eventually be able to teleport to any individual node using a menu accessed pressing shift.
In the current build, nodes can be edited by colliding with them and each node has an associated text file which contains information on the structure of the node. Each nodes number value can also be edited to contain information on it’s content and the user can do this by either colliding with the node or navigating to it via the node menu.
Future Scope
The app is in the early stages with three days of development time invested so far, it requires more functionality and testing to determine the effectiveness of the mechanics, as well as looking at UI / UX considerations for accessing nodes as well as developing more levels and areas for the player. However I am please with the general progress of this so far, and will continue to incorporate these changes as I progress. Future considerations include creating a Mobile / Tablet version and possibly creating a version compatible with VR devices. My philosophy at the minute is to get a working version on Desktop and then work on a version on Mobile devices after that version is working to a standard where it can be demoed in public.
