What Hacker News says
2 sourcesAre the levels playable, or just static lookalikes without moving parts?
Incidentally, there's a nice example of a text representation of a level in the source code (requires scrolling horizontally, which isn't totally obvious from the GitHub UI): https://github.com/shyamsn97/mario-gpt/blob/main/mario_gpt/l...
Some parts are recognisable, for example the flag pole (which is typically at the end of mario levels, I believe).
