Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Modern video game development activities have become as specialized as movie-making activites. Gifted story-writers, artists, and animators have replaced programmers in most content creation activities. However, there is still one area where computer programmers play a big role. Stories, characters, and events are still controlled by scripts that are written in "C-like" languages. Therefore, scripting the video game content usually requires a high level of programming knowledge. Some scripting is simple, such as specifying specific game objects. However, in order to take advantage of knowledge learned during game play, authors need to be able to specify dynamic game objects. This often requires authors to create complex definitions, which are composed of a series of variable assignments in programming languages. In this paper, we show how these definitions can be replaced by a more natural mechanism, which we call descriptions. We also present the results of a user study that shows that authors with no programming skills can use descriptions more effectively than definitions and that the authors prefer descriptions.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
