Nice work A few issues though GD tiles don't follow a grid, they use a coordinate system: for example, the 3 spike jumps in stereo madness are actually compressed to be slightly less than 3 blocks A 2D array wont work if you're trying to make a perfect 1:1 recreation You may have done this already, but the spike hitboxes are not triangle shapes, they're small thin rectangles in the center of the spike

[@aykarain]

pretty sure the tiles are actually in item id, x pos, y pos or something like that

Really good video but i have a few things that could make the AI work better and also function in the actual game: 1) Every texture is in the game files in the "Resources" folder, they're stored in a spreadsheet. 2)There is a mod created by Absolute called "Mega hack V7" which lets you do a lot of thing, one of them is "show Meta" which shows you xPos, yPos, xSpeed, ySpeed and so on, so they're actually information that you can get while playing, also another option is "Show hotboxes" which let you see the hitboxes of every object, dividing the object that kill you like spikes to the object that are solid like blocks. Lastly they're also a feature that lets you see the trajectory of your icon if you click or If you let down, I'm not a AI expert but it would be cool if there would be a way of getting all of this information together and make the AI work in the actual game,

[@monodragon]

i was thinking this, what if you just put the ai into the game and give it hitbox, pos, speed, and death information? it could work with a lot of code

[@gdfra4733]

@@monodragon that's what I was thinking

[@drmmrptr]

seeing xPos, yPos, xSpeed and ySpeed in point 2 makes me think of the coordinateStep songs/levels and its infuriating

[@BritishBoy]

Super cool! I’ve been looking for something like this for a while now. A few suggestions though: The hitboxes are absolutely scuffed in GD so it might be worth looking into how they really work The camera in GD is slightly offset to the right to give the player more time to see what’s coming The game’s files already has all the game’s textures cleanly laid out in files called GJ_gamesheet I know it’s hard to get the jumping perfect, but coming from a person who’s been playing this game for 8 and a half years, I feel like the jumping is just a touch slow. It might help to just speed up the whole game by a little bit. It may also be that it’s just too linear? RobTop’s original jumping patterns seem to have more variety in the velocity of the cube during the jump. The game is zoomed in a lot more than you have it here. Overall though this is really neat! I hope to catch a part 2! Subbed ;) Edit: ok yeah I’m pretty convinced you should speed the game up a bit. It’s a little slow.

[@notphantom_4710]

Hey! Very interesting video. If you didn't know already, you can find high quality geometry dash textures from the Resources inside the game. Weirdly enough, all the textures are available to everyone. (Edit) Most hitboxes in geometry dash are kinda broken so this version of gd would be harder.

You do know that the PC version on Steam has all of the assets acessible? Again, GD is more of a pc game. Also, x Pos and y pos are stored in variables, and there is a hack client called Mega Hack which has a feature that shows you the hitboxes

I made a clone of GD in p5js, and the process was almost the exact same! Even the jump mechanism. I was too lazy to make an editor, so I filled the array by hand. It's probably the clone with the worst performance ever. (it runs fine on modern devices though) I wrote it within 1000 lines.

For everyone saying "AI already exists for geometry dash", yes, technically that's kind of true. But the AI that exists prior to CodeNoodles uses brute force approach. I feel CodeNoodles approach is way more elegant.

[@Muscletearror]

how to make an ai for geometry dash: code a way for it to know when it dies, then once it knows it dies, it saves the timestamp of it dieing and once it gets to that timestamp it jumps a bit before it making it jump over whatever killed it, if it dies again to the same spot, once it gets to the timestamp it will jump even earlier until it completes the level
