Not sure what I'm more impressed by - your programming skills, your problem solving skills, or your ability to explain and edit everything so nicely. Seriously, this is incredible omg well done
you are by far the most revolutionary creator to have ever touched this game, thanks for inspiring me and motivating me to keep going in my computer science studies, you truly are a master
5:56 This is the coolest way I've seen an image generate. The way the splotchy big objects get filled out with more detail as the program figures out which one fits best looks amazing. This video is evolutionary, and revolutionary!
Absoutely phenomenal! It's interesting how the limited numbers of objects in the Geometry Dash editor can recreate images this way; not quite perfectly, but good enough for it to be similar, and looks closer and closer to the original image the more objects you have, similar to the principles of calculus! Great work
The video: 40% Geometry dash amazingness, colour theory and many more interesting things 60% *Chameleon* But really now, this is an amazing video and couldn't even image this was possible
You should also make an algorithm that takes the finished image and declutters it to reduce object count - choose a random number objects (say, however many objects 2% of the total is) to remove, and whichever removed object improves the pixel score the most/worsens the pixel score the least, remove it. Maybe you could run your generation algorithm a few times, swap to the declutter alg, swap back to the generation alg, etc etc until you get the desired image
The programming is surely insane, but I truly love the unique and creative art style of it much more. Very beautiful. Thank you for sharing your amazing work!!
this reminds me a lot of calculus with how it gets more and more accurate the more objects you add. theoretically given infinite objects, you could have a pixel perfect image.
I actually started to get chills at 6:15, just mind-blowing to see it all coming together, your talents and creative ideas in how you manipulate this game are simply unmatched. One day I hope to take the time to sit down and learn as much as I can about programming and your videos, and try to make something amazing of my own. Honestly can't wait to see what you come up with next!
@@simonw.1223 he pretty much explained how it works, so to copy it you’d have to write some code that’s doing the same thing as it and solve any arising issues yourself.
@@simonw.1223 By using the power of programming If you’re asking what exactly has to be done, literally what has to be written/coded to imitate the software shown in the video, then I unfortunately can’t help you.
I saw this online a while ago… I never expected that you made it. I sadly couldn’t get rust working so I tried to see videos on it but I couldn’t. Good thing I could see the process.
What you manage to do with this game is truly fascinating. I thought "How" would be the limit, but nope, you keep going farther. idk how to react to this because every time all my brain is stuck on is how tf
i like how you go from "these children fit the most and they will reproduce and see which ones fit even more" to "geometry dash uses this string of code, this is why i made a robot machinery to stimulate the perfectness of an object in the frame,"
The visual process of the image creation is actually remarkably similar to the way I paint digitally- I block out the largest sections of color and value, and then add smaller and smaller details as I go. I also like to use square brushes and other geometric details. The result looks so painterly!
12:41 As an early programmer (C#) and future web dev, I feel this statement so much. There are times where I really want to do something and manage to do it, but not in the best way possible because I didn't know how to yet. For example, I don't know how to make dynamically populated drop down boxes and dynamic mins/maxes in views since I know 0 Javascript, so I had to settle with making multiple checks in my controllers that I otherwise wouldn't to make sure users didn't create invalid data or cause crashes in my school project.
I’ve always had this type of level idea in mind but since I’ve never made even a single rate worthy level I knew it was for beyond impossible for me to do. And also I’m a mobile player so my phone will literally combust before the level opens. Thank you for showing that my dream gd level is in the range of possibilities.
i honestly like to see this as an actually useful tool, i mean you can make art for a level but it can be very hard to make it in game, this can skip that step and simply do it better than most people can, so i consider this genuinely a very useful thing that people should try and implement into full levels, it shouldn't be the entire level but it should be used for things like backgrounds, foreground, and many other things as it would fit very well and you can make it use pretty minimal objects so it's efficient, honestly a very cool thing
11:27 this city background might be the coolest thing i have ever seen in this game. It just makes me wish i could do it 😭anyway great job man, your talent continues to blow me away
Amazing video! Sucks that you won't release it, but it's cool to know that this exists. Ive always envied how talented you are at coding, cause its something that I seriously struggled to understand. You never fail to blow me away each time with your cool projects, and i believe this time you could really revolutionize GD once again!
if it becomes accessible to everyone gd servers would be flooded with object heavy device breakers so its probably for the better that only trusted people would have it
This video is so underrated! The way the program works is so satisfying, and it looks almost the exact same as the original image. I still can't believe its in geometry dash lol. Great work!
The unique style that emerges from just using the available GD objects is unbelievably cool. The videos look like moving impressionist paintings. I haven’t seen something this cool in years. There was not NEARLY enough showcase here, I would absolutely watch an hour long video of this. That tiger specifically was insane.
"Hey are you already watch shrek movie?" "Yes, and you? Do you already watched it?" "Yes, i watched it on cinema, what about you?" "I watch it on geometry dash. " "What? "
What I find very interesting is that it seems to be following some composition rules used in real, traditional mediums, like starting with large blocks of color and adding smaller details as you go.
“100 million years ago, right before 2.2 came out…” This got me laughing so hard. You are one of the creators that changed geometry dash, and your videos are always interesting and they never fail to interest me. Keep up the good work
Bro.. Wtf this is so insanely cool! Would never expect a video about making a geometry dash level to be this good. Just how much did the comunity grow since i playd it as a child..
12:52 For any of you out there wondering why, first of all he is the creator of this program, so he can do whatever he wants. Second, even if he wanted to let everyone have it, there is a very good reason why he shouldn't let everyone have it. I don't think I need to explain how dangerous it is to give everyone access to uploading actual videos in geometry dash
And I like teaching people how to paint, so this has a really cool kind of built in metric which functionally says, "look, a painting can be made in 2000 brush strokes."
2:15 this line that you said really did hit home. As a son of a father and mother. My mother would always push me to be perfect in my grades and even the way I text(this is fine since it helped me out quite a lot actually). My father is the complete opposite of my mother, 2:15 is what describes him perfectly.
I love the way you teach and explain how all of this works by using a completely different example and somehow linking them together that's easily understood. Great video! Also this gives me a really interesting idea to make art just by using shapes and simple 2d symbols. who knows maybe ill make something that uses that.

Second of all, for anyone interested, this type of algorithm is called a genetic algorithm, where an individual (in this case gd objects) has a fitness number attached to it stating how close is it to the ideal solution (in this case it is based on color and position to the previous/original image). In this case, the program uses the stochastic selection method, where the individuals from the current generation are sorted based on their fitness, the ones with high fitness get selected while the ones with lower get discarded. Lastly, the mating process is done by what is called a "crossover" method where the offspring of the individuals selected are generated swapping usually half of the parent's genes (I am not entirely sure what genes are considered that an individual has in this program, but I believe its probably color, shape, size, position, etc.). Usually, genetic algorithms contain a mutation rate, where one of the genes of a random individual gets changed in order to prevent early convergence (this basically helps to find an even better optimal solution, because the individuals from the current generation will have more variety, therefore allowing for strange but more effective offsprings). Just to be clear, I am by no means an expert on this. It just happened to be on my computer science ib exam so I studied these algorithms specifically and their terminology. If you want to know how to code such an algorithm or know more you can just type "genetic algorithms" on google or youtube. Keep up the good work for the gd community :).

In this case, the program uses the stochastic selection method, where the individuals from the current generation are sorted based on their fitness, the ones with high fitness get selected while the ones with lower get discarded.
