crem Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) In the ZX Spectrum speedrun Discord chat server, Digitalduck has recentely tested VQGAN, a neural network that can generate surreal images from the text description. He did it for all Manic Miner room names ("Central Cavern", "The Cold room" and so on), and for all JSW room names too. Before I share all other images, who can guess which of the Manic Miner caverns is this? 🙂 Spoiler It's "Attack of the Mutant Telephones" Edited May 9, 2022 by crem Spider, jetsetdanny and CPL 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 That would be cavern 10 or 0Ah (assuming one counts Central Cavern as zero) I could attach a pic colours of the Portal which I hope does not spoil it, but I could be wrong: 2 / 6 🙂 crem and jetsetdanny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other two of three are harder to guess, so I'd rather post them later when we can already exclude some caverns.

Fixed. Without the colours either 😉 It could be the other way around, I'd not checked. jetsetdanny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crem Posted May 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) I've added the answer to the original post, congratulations to everyone who guessed it right. The next one is...

crem Posted May 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 It's "The Cold Room" indeed (which actually is the very first cavern if you count from zero :-P). I thought it should be quite guessable, "room" makes it box-shaped, and "cold" makes that icy texture. Spider and jetsetdanny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
