starting over

started Flyscape 2.0 from scratch. this time he first works out what's floor, void, gifts and danger on the screen, then decides where to go.

giving up

with me coaching him he finished 9 levels over a 50 minute session, across lots of lives. on his own he stopped getting better (median life 17 seconds), so i gave up on 1.0.

1.0's peak

a median life of 20.6 seconds on his own. that was as good as 1.0 ever got.

edges and memory

almost all of his deaths (about 1,000 of 1,077) were from walking off edges. that night he got a 16 second memory, and his average life went from 11 to 21 seconds. longest life 76 seconds.

the start

i saw a clip of a fruit fly brain playing games and wanted to make one for Nullscape. that's where the name comes from. started Flyscape.
