    Awesome

    >a handwritten digit takes 163 seconds of real-time DOOM in one map at the default schedule and 8 seconds at --opt 3.

    What does this refer to? What does schedule mean here, and what are these opt levels?

    Edit: oh sweet Jesus

    Self-plug I have a very similar blog post title but a very different approach. Honestly, I like your idea more than my own idea. https://nostalgia.dev/posts/running-doom-inside-a-transforme...

      what if you run doom on doomformer?

      I havent fully recursed but what I have done with this is use a DOOMformer to generate a level, have python compile it, have DOOMformer generate the name of the level, and use a DOOMformer brain to complete said level. I have also trained said DOOMformer (you can see the levels "weights" updating as it trains) to aim better lol

    This is absolutely incredible. I feel like this could help visualize a neural network, but you have to know a lot about DOOM to really understand it.
