The user draws a shape which is made out of points connected with lines.\n2. Then after the drawing is done, I normalize the point positions: scale all the points to fit in a 1x1 square.\n3. I rasterize the points and lines into a 28x28 black and white image.\n*This is done by running a pixel to line distance algorithm for each pixel & line of the drawing and mapping that to a color.\nThis is best done using Compute Shaders but had to use CPU for WebGL version :\/*\n4. I then use the image as inputs to a Convolutional Neural Network  (from the above example).  \n\ufeff  \n*There was a special case with lines as if you draw a line along the horizontal\/vertical axis, when normalized the horizontal\/vertical imperfections will be very exaggerated and can look like another shape. If small width\/height of the drawing is detected it assumes it's a line an no further classification is done.*\n  \nI got a FAQ with more technical questions on the discord if you're interested :)","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ld55\/wayback-placeholder.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/markasais.itch.io\/polymancer","text":"Link"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"67037","g_author":"1336560","g_event":"LD55","g_eventkey":"120","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"286723","g_title":"PolyMancer","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"7","g_commentcount":"73","g_site2_node_id":"383528","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"383528","n_urlkey":"286723","n_parent":"383062","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/55\/polymancer-1","n_slug":"polymancer-1","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"336560","n_created":"0","n_modified":"0","n_version":"1238793","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"id":383528,"parent":383062,"_superparent":9,"author":336560,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2024-04-16T00:39:19Z","created":"2024-03-30T12:06:47Z","modified":"2024-05-07T00:50:30Z","_trust":1,"version":1238793,"slug":"polymancer-1","name":"PolyMancer","body":"![splash_horizontal.png](\/\/\/raw\/0b2\/25\/z\/62e38.png)\n\nUse mouse gestures to summon abilities & make shapes go boom.\n  \n**I'm developing this game further!
