MF#K: Let's Write a Game with Inference Rules - Running only on the GPU

Talk by Michael Werk Ravnsmed

We’re going to build a little simulation game together using a small, self-made DSL.

The DSL is a rule-based simulation language designed for expressing game mechanics using inference rules. Inspired by falling sand games, it defines how elements in a grid interact based on structured conditions. Instead of imperative updates, rules are written declaratively - much like logical inference. The simulation runs on the GPU using Margolus neighborhoods, allowing groups of cells to update in parallel.

This Thursday evening is going to be fun and special. Looking forward to seeing you!

As always, we go to the local bar after the talk for mingling!
