Neural network generated Manic Miner level images

[crem]

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? 🙂

It's "Attack of the Mutant Telephones"

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

That's indeed the right answer. 🙂

I only have a high resolution of three caverns so far and the rest is low res, will get more highres from Digitalduck next week.

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

I think it spoils too much (which may be fine), maybe just INK/PAPER colors without actual pixels would be good hint enough.

Fixed. Without the colours either 😉 It could be the other way around, I'd not checked.

I've added the answer to the original post, congratulations to everyone who guessed it right.

The next one is...

"The Cold Room"

The very first cavern

It's not "The Central Cavern", but it has something in common with this JSW room.

Cold Room

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.
