Create a simple learning game about some boring subject. Implement it in three versions:
Rendering depends still on expensive light-material interaction computation (PBR). In this project you skip this and replace it with an AI pass, using e.g. U-Nets, CNNs, stable diffusion, LLMs, etc. You would render into a G-buffer (containing surface material and coordinate information), then pass…
Bei „Gemeinsam für eine bessere Zukunft“ handelt es sich um ein Bewusstseinsbildungsprojekt in Form einer Datenplattform, die den persönlichen Mehrwert von Klimaschutz in den Mittelpunkt stellt.
Die Plattform basiert auf einer Kommunikationsstrategie, die sich gezielt an Menschen richtet, die bislang…
Create various Vulkan 1.4 renderers using just an LLM like Gemini or Claude: forward, deferred, ray tracer. The renderer should accept a specific data structure of geometric objects, upload the data to the GPU, and be able to render everything using a camera. It should run on Windows, Linux and Mac.…
Create a Nanite like geometry management for the VVE2.

Imagine the school / university of the future. Students are taught by LLMs, which they can talk to any time they want. LLMs evaluate their performance, grade their performance and teach them basic content. How could this work? How would a curriculum work – in school or university?
Design a course of…

The mp-units library will at some point become part of the C++ library. GLM is strongly typed but lacks units. Fuse both together to form a game GLM library that is strongly typed with units, like Position, Velocity, Mass, …
