Like last time, I want to do something with deep learning. Not sure what though. Maybe learning enemies, or something generated by a homemade AI (like last time ...). Given the theme, maybe the game should involve creating and training AI minions, or perhaps summoning should be based on AI prompts. Tools I might use:

• jgame.js (https://github.com/borisvanschooten/jgame.js)
• tinyspriteeditor (https://github.com/borisvanschooten/tinyspriteeditor)
• animated character generator (http://tmtg.nl/ludumdare/ld53-charactergen/)
• gimp
• audacity
• jsfxr (https://sfxr.me/)
• LMMS (if I get round to music)
• Pytorch or tensorflow.js

Last night I got my new AI rig up and running, just in time for LD. It's an 7 year old PC with an RTX4060 16G. It seems to perform surprisingly well. It can run sdxl at about 2.5 iterations per second. It may come in handy this weekend!

Houston, we have a problem! We have sighted yet another astronaut on a horse!
