Haven’t played the game but I’m guessing based on the little I’ve seen:
-
push rock into water
-
cross rock into room
-
swap “push” for “win”
-
touch rock and win?
How do you cross while rock is push?
Can rocks go through walls or is “stop” for more than baba? Otherwise break water is sink with the rocks.
Also, do we know if this even has a solution or is just a shitpost?
Water is sink, so rock and water will destroy each other. Think of the rock as if it is as tall as the water is deep, and creates a platform.
Still easier than half the captchas I see these days
This is actually interesting, because I remember sokoban being one of those games that are hard for a computer to find a winning solution for, while being quite easy for a human. So they made their own game inspired by sokoban with very simple levels?
very simple levels
LOL. Lmao, even. Like the first five levels of Baba Is You are simple. Past that, that game is a mf menace. Most sokoban games won’t give you the opportunity to accidentally zero-sum yourself out of existence or turn every wall tile into a walking controllable copy of the player. BIY requires some extremely out of the box thinking sometimes.
I’m curious if you could give an image like this to an AI that supports image recognition like ChatGPT-4 and ask it to solve it for you.
This is actually a really interesting question. A modern LLM probably couldn’t do it, but I wonder if something like Alphazero could?
My guess is that no current AI is capable, as it requires abstract reasoning and precise movement. But maybe in the next 5 years.
from the image alone, no, because there’s no way to intuit the mechanics of anything
I don’t think that an LLM could do it. But the mechanics of baba is you should be in the training set, since it’s a relatively well knoun indie game.
Look up reinforcement learning, it’s the branch or ML/AI that Alphazero was based on. Video games are actually a main focus area for that kind of research.
As for beating Baba is You, I’m not sure. OpenAI did make an AI that could beat people in Dota - https://openai.com/research/openai-five/
