Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Procedural Content Generation can help game developers by automating the creation of content that is costly and tedious to develop by hand. We present a system to generate 3D game levels based on interior spaces such as buildings and dungeons. Our system generates individual rooms by using a shape grammar to recursively subdivide rectangular blocks. Multiple rooms can be joined to form a larger level layout. Our system searches for a good layout based on a fitness function specified by a human designer. We tested three search algorithms for this purpose and found that in almost all cases an evolutionary algorithm produced the best results. Once a level layout has been selected, architectural details are added to the layout by placing modular meshes such as columns and wall segments. The final level can be loaded in Unreal Engine 4, a widely used game engine.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
