Netflix announces three new Sega game adaptations: a Crazy Taxi film, a Sonic animated series for kids with attitude, and a live-action Stranger Than Heaven movie.
A detailed analysis of the implementation of the physics system in Sonic games: it runs efficiently on a 7MHz 68000 CPU based on predefined collision tiles and simple sensor rules, rather than real-time physics calculations. It also introduces design details such as level collision data, sensor system, dual loop implementation, and the author's progress on an Amiga port.
OpenAI's Retro Contest concluded with 923 teams competing to develop generalizable algorithms using the Sonic benchmark. Top performers primarily used tuned versions of existing algorithms like PPO and Rainbow DQN, with Dharmaraja winning first place with a score of 4,692 out of a theoretical maximum of 10,000.
