Ranked from 8 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How did you implement AI in your game?
The player flies a plane around an island - I used behavioural cloning to capture how the player moves and try to replicate it with an agent. The important part is that it's all done on the player's computer.

If Generative AI tools were employed, how did you use them in your game?
None

What game engine is your game built in?

Unity

Cool concept- but I really couldn’t get a grip on the controls. Maybe that’s a me-issue, I don’t really play flight games that much :P

I was able to fly and that was pretty cool. The flight controls are a little strange but I got the hang of it, but I didnt know how to make it start the recording? Or rather how to END the recording and go back to make the ai recording. But after reading the game page I made the 20 laps and then I got the same error about the script thing. Do you have to make 20 laps without crashing? You should probably make it count the laps and give an external view of the plane as well so you can tell where the colliders are on the plane. Such a cool concept, would have loved to see it work.

Thanks for giving it a go. It's always recording - when you quit either through esc or alt-f4 it will save it. I'll add that to the controls in the description.

The 20 laps is a suggestion - you can train the planes to do whatever you want (within reason). e.g. in the simplest case you can show them that they should always hold the thruster down and not do anything else. Unfortunately I broke the training with my last upload and am trying to get a new build out that will work.

Hey, I keep getting "Script cli.py has failed" message but if I check the %AppData%\LocalLow\Carbide Function\Mockingbird\FlightData my recordings are there. What am I missing?

PS: I really like the idea and the flight mechanics. Just don't know why my recordings won't work to train the AI.

Thanks for the report - Just tested this myself and I'm running into the same problem. I'll see if I can fix it and upload it with Tommy.

Sorry for messing you around and thanks a lot for letting me know
