Damn, nice video! About 7:09: Yours didn't performed like Poly Bridge probably because Poly Bridge has its own custom physics engine, this was done because the Unity3D physics engine is not deterministic, which caused a lot of problems on Poly Bridge 1, not only rerunning the simulation will give you a different result, but game speed also affects the outcome. So for Poly Bridge 2 and on, they're using their own physics engine.
@AstroSamDev
@AstroSamDev 9 місяців тому
Yes, I did some research on it and found many differences, so my version is pretty different. One way I get around it not being deterministic is by running the simulation multiple times and taking the mean of the fitness, although this obviously takes more time.

It actually uses unity's 2d physics system, so having multiple rows moving back in the z axis would overlap collisions, and stacking them vertically could make the ball interfere or bridge pieces. The only way to prevent that would be to build extra barriers or delete falling things, which would reduce performance. And for visualization, it wouldn't be possible to show all of them at once on screen, and I think just showing a single one evolving gets the point across well.

I think if you made closeness to the flag an exponential reward, that might help incentivize reaching the goal. And if you also awarded points for bridge rigidity, that could be good for preventing dangling messes. The rigidity could be scored based on least amount of average travel for each joint node.

We gave something like this as an assignment to students in an evolutionary computation class a while back, and it was a lot of fun. We used a "maximum load" fitness function (keep adding weight until the bridge collapses), and also had students add a cost minimization objective at one point for NSGA-II, though that ran into some fun problems (What bridge minimizes cost? The one where you delete the whole bridge, of course!). On one test problem we were getting really weird results only to find that our scenario was missing one of the two anchor points on the sides of the bridge, so the evolutionary algorithms were desperately trying to keep a huge cantilevered pier from falling over with surprising success!

That was really well done and enjoyable to watch. I wonder if Poly Bridge 3 has an easily-understood save file format -- you might be able to use that (plus some hairy automation helpers) to test candidate solutions in the real game environment, although it would probably be a lot slower and might suffer from the nondeterministic physics update you mentioned. Unless the PB3 devs have also done work to make their custom physics model fully deterministic (maybe it works out the physics interactions before playing back the animations? Presumably they would need something like this to be able to replay solutions consistently).

Having a maximum penalty for lost balls is an effective improvement; it shouldn't be (much) worse than a ball that hasn't moved at all. As the evaluation function is already composite (anchors, ball distance...), I'd also consider a non-linear evaluation on the ball distance. Closer to the finish should be very important and perhaps the distance should be rated exponentially. Another thing that could be interesting is average velocity of the ball; lower average velocity means smoother bridge. I would love to see a followup with improvements on the evaluation (perhaps my suggestions :))

When creating fitness functions, I’ll often find multiple ways to score it, such as, for example: ‘distance traveled exceeds 5 units’ and ‘minimum distance to goal’ Scoring perfect gets you one point for each. 1 point for a minimum distance of 0, 1 point for traveling 5 units. I’ll then take all these disparate fitness scores and multiply them together for the final fitness score for the bridge. so if the ball never leaves the start (0 points for 0 of 5 units moved) and the ball never gets closer to the goal (0 points for goal proximity) - 0 * 0 = 0… which fair, bad example. the point is, any single fitness function doing poorly penalizes the overall score, and none of these functions need to ‘pass’ before other functions start getting considered. There’s some finagling to do (what if all functions start scoring at zero?) … but the point is, don’t limit yourself to just a linear score. Powers, logs, priorities use what works for you.

I was hoping for another step of adjustments to refine the reward system after you brought it up as an issue but was kinda left hanging like the bridge supports made of wood. 😂 I think (as someone glancing in from the outside) an issue was that your setup wasn't really rewarding the system for using supports in any constructive ways. If you come back to this at all, I personally would like to see refinement of the reward system to encourage more connectivity with supports back onto the road structure, and also to refrain from using road material outside of the direct path. Those are obviously just my thoughts, and either way, love the content.

So i'm sure you already thought of this, but I think the AI would have a better chance if piece placement was changed to emulate the Arc tool. Like if the distance between two points it chooses is greater than material.maxLength, add a third point halfway between the two and offset it by a random number * the line's normal (weighted toward 0 offset) to define an arc, then create floor(arcLength/material.maxLength) connections and equally space them along the curve. It would probably still be a mess, but it would likely get it closer faster and is closer to how real players think when they plan a bridge.

While watching Matt(@RealCivilEngineerGaming) tweaking his bridges I thought I'd be cool to replace Matt with genetic algorithm. I don't even thing neural network is required for that. Basically we can give the bridge (with suboptimal but working design) to the computer and ask it to move joints around until it'd land on the cheapest possible bridge without structural modification. That would drastically speed up the search (compared to generating the bridge from scratch) and hopefully show what the design actually is capable of. And implementing it as a mod/plugin for the original game would be absolutely cool but i have no idea how hard would it be to integrate such thing into the game.

Your fitness function could have been based on three things: the changes to the road pieces (max distance change, max angle change) and the max distance change of the balls. Also you should have randomized ball size. With keeping the ball as level as possible the main goal. This will help avoid jumps, hills, swings, and dips. If you’re given a straight path of road joints and told to keep it as level as possibly by only adding bridge connections etc.

What if you tweaked it to measure the total distance each part of the bridge moved during the simulation, and the less the bridge moved give it a higher score / the more the bridge moved the lower the score? Could also have it on some iterations remove a random non-road part to the bridge and if the score doesn't decrease massively, continue from there. Try to remove some of the additional clumps.

I thought I was, but because it is all behind the scenes in a class I don't often edit and see that. Now that I look, I see that it is a double type, but I think when I add to it and set it from the Agent's class it is as a float. So I will fix this in a future revision

is there a way to inject the Neural Network controls directly into the game? could even reach out to the devs and see if they can make a special build of Poly Bridge 3 that allows for injection?

without reverse engineering the game, the easiest way i can think off is tracking the image of the game while played for the simulation part, for the building it think his code may be able to be adapted to work, biggest problem is the amount of time it would take to train it on a single instance running at a time

It looks more like your void Elapse() is more comparable to Unity's void LateUpdate(), which runs on fixed intervals after the physics has been calculated.

Good thing I have the memory of a goldfish, cause here I go watching it again! Look forward to seeing this comment in 8 months when YT brings me that fresh new video I might be interested in.

Can I suggest a loss function for your algorithm? What I would do would be to define the loss function as the addition of 2 loss functions L1 and L2 the first one is L1=current cost and the second one is L2=min(Target position - player position) over all the simulation. That should work for a problem with only one flag. If you have multiple flags then the second loss could become more complex and involves adding all the individual losses for each flag and also locking the rewards unless the previous flag has been reached. If you have time I think a graph neural network might also be an interesting approach for solving this problem. It was a very nice video🎉😊

I always find it funny how some solutions turn out when working with neural networks to solve problems ^^ It again and again shows that we need to be very sure about the ruleset we give an AI before we let it run wild as it will find loopholes in the blink of an eye.
