Play Mario For Science!

I am presently running a study on different AI Mario-level generators. The study should only take 15 mins and will help AI researchers understand how players react to different generative methods. Please check it out if you can!

Hey guys! My roomie does some really rad AI research and is currently conducting a study on the Mario Bros levels his AI is currently making.

I just did this study (only took me 10 mins) and it was weirdly fun, seeing as I hadn’t played any of the classic Mario Bros. games in years. Kind of warmed my heart.

Anyway, it’s also really cool to see what kinds of levels this AI makes, and what things work and what things are just silly.

Look at him go. just waiting for me to fall in and die.

Anyhow, if you’ve got 15 mins to spare and want to help the science behind video game-making, then you really ought to check this out!

When downloading the study file, your computer may warn you that it might be dangerous, but do not worry I promise it’s not. You can read about my super genius superhero roommate on his website and you can do the study from this page. 

If if end up doing the study, try to get one of your friends to do it! It’s fun and easy and the more results we get, the better! Thank you, and boost away!
