DashVMC learns real-time control model for Geometry Dash

Researchers have developed DashVMC, a system that learns a discrete world model for real-time control in the game Geometry Dash. By training on approximately two hours of gameplay, DashVMC can predict game states and execute actions without further interaction with the live game. Controllers initialized with behavioral cloning and refined using Proximal Policy Optimization demonstrated improved performance in gameplay, maintaining a 60-Hz capture-to-action loop on consumer hardware. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates a novel approach to real-time AI control in interactive environments, potentially applicable to other complex games or simulations.

    DashVMC: Real-Time Discrete World Model Control in Geometry Dash

    arXiv:2609.40003v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: World-model agents are usually evaluated in simulators that can wait for the policy; live games impose the opposite constraint, requiring capture, prediction, and action before the next frame. We present DashVMC, which learns a comp…
