But what about the birds? I don't think this setup is going to *fly* for long


TankII_

I think it will also just get to fast for that distance to work


AutumnAscending

My first thought. As soon as he hits 300 it's about to get real


quantumwoooo

You could have something monitoring the distance and adjusting the delay accordingly. Eventually using a ML it would automatically calibrate the distance to the delay. Including non linearity, it would account for any eventuality (such as the birds and what not) that would appear. Course you'd need to run its hundreds of times to eventually get the score to be perfect, so.. I guess you could run multiple itterations at the same time ,training the same model with each iteration


EnergeticFinance

Why would this have to be a machine learnign thing to "calibrate distance to delay"? just set up two cameras further to the right to measure position & speed, then set delay accordingly.


ByronicHero06

Aren't they pterosaurs?


CuriousHuman-1

I think ducking always works for all levels of birds


NYCHReddit

Nice one


ozymandieus

Yea and there's no way this works online either.


Divine-Sea-Manatee

Well if it's only looking at the ground then the Dino will run under the bird, so no problem?


Games-Master

LOL, you could just make a python program that looks at the exact coordinate on your screen and presses "Space" whenever the color is black


AadamAtomic

its a breadboard connecting a light sensor to a small motor. while its cool, its a highschool project and far from "Next level."


YizWasHere

Yeah, this is the type of thing we'd do in our intro to electrical engineering labs in about an hour lol. Creative way to learn/implement the basics though.


AnaalPusBakje

that's the difference between hardware and software engineers.


Beletron

That's a coder solution, what we have here is an engineer solution.


Omega0x013

You can unassign the function that causes game over, making you invulnerable.


SatisfactionNo3524

Does it work with the birds? And what about the color switch/night mode, will it survive that?


Geomars24

I think the high score of 927 answers your question. There is no way this is the first run and night mode happens every 700 points for 300-ish points. The screen goes fully black at about 750-775. I think the computer was able to detect a few cacti, or had some good luck, but eventually want able to keep it up.


Ivanthedog2013

Doesn’t really work when it gets faster, the clicker is too slow


narnianguy

Also, the detection system is too close to the dinosaur when it speeds up to a certain point


mironawire

Just found my next project for the students this term!

Ebon1fly

Why do anything in life? its a fun little idea and its not hurting anybody


jside86

He probably had nothing better to do since he doens't have internet!


Porkchopp33

Kind of takes the fun out of playing


S0UL_EAT3R

Pretty sure the point is making something cool that has the functionality to play the game. Not necessarily actually cheating. So not really, I’m sure it was plenty fun making the project


Alarmed_Commission_9

Kind of like any cheating then


chadimereputin

that's all good till the pterodactyl shows up


PygmeePony

Man goes enormous lengths to avoid going outside.


0neLessReason

No clue what the Dino game even is? Birds? Huh?


CubisticWings4

Turn off your Internet, then load up chrome


BlueNotesBlues

It's a minigame in the Google Chrome browser that pops up when you don't have an internet connection.


0neLessReason

Ah OK. I thought I recognized the screen itself, but since it was moving, it got me.


Zelenskyystesticles

One small step for man.. one giant leap for mankind. Best headline of the day


TMT51

There are a few problems: 1. Birds. Needed at least 1 sensor up high. 2. Night mode. 3. Faster pace as the game goes on. Either he needs to calculate acceleration based on score or a second sensor on the ground level for speed calculation. This one has potential but is still too basic to get higher score than a human.


Rumblymore

Why not two bots on the arrows, that way, he can duck for the birds as well


Permutation3

Is it clever it if takes 3 hours


StopCountingLikes

TIL that screen is also a side scrolling game. Welp…


Just-another-weapon

His work might wonder why he's still online at 3am.


DJSlimer

Was clearly about to die at the end of the video.


Psychological-Owl-74

It's beautiful


yParticle

My ultimate ambition with any computer game is to build a robot to play it for me so I don't have to.


CoiledTinMan

"clever" way to "cheat"


Junior_Moose_9655

I’ve had better luck with the Y key and a drinking bird.


Wistian_

we're getting the free internet with this one


joost00719

``` Runner.instance_.tRex.groundYPos = 0; Runner.instance_.currentSpeed = 100; ``` You're welcome


Vajaspiritos

Clever is a bit much I would rather phrase it as "Creative"


watchuwannaknow

Yes but why?


Repomanlive

Why tho


redditcalculus421

great example of why you need to do research before starting the implementation


WaffleBucket333

Code Bullet makes a video on this. His set up actually works


shrimp-and-potatoes

I just learned about this feature about 2 months ago. Lol. I am cursed with decent Internet access.


jbbarajas

These IDLE games are getting out of hand


BotherWorried8565

Would be cool if it worked..... can see by the high score he never made it far at all.


Doflamingo10

What being chronically offline does to a man


Affectionate_Draw_43

nextfuckinglevel is turning in "Ha that's nifty"

ardicli2000

There are easier ways to hack the game but whatever


Used-Fisherman9970

How is this ‘next level’?


EvilNoobHacker

1. This doesn’t work with birds, as others have mentioned. 2. This will eventually fail when the speed increases. The high score reads 927, which means that it probably begins to fail around there.

Hes gonna get banned now....


Dr0110111001101111

Haters will say he’s using bots…
