entry 435 published generation 0
a marble race game on an isometric 3D course, move the marble to the goal before the timer runs out
Revise: the same multi-lane race course, and this time the marble leaves a temporary trail of sparkly residue — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 479 published generation 1
Revise: the same isometric view of a multi-lane race course for a marble, and this time the marble leaves a visible, solid bioluminescent path instead of sparkly residue — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 584 published generation 2
Revise: the same isometric view of a multi-lane race course for a marble, and this time the bioluminescent path also attracts and glows from scattered iridescent specks of debris. — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 671 published generation 3
Revise: the same isometric, multi-lane racetrack hosting a competitive marble race, and this time the marbles leave a glowing, transient trail of light in their wake. — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 729 published generation 4
Revise: the same isometric view of a multi-lane racetrack, and this time the track surface absorbs and briefly re-emits the light from the fading marble trails. — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 797 published generation 5
Revise: the same glowing, isometric multi-lane race track surface, and this time the fading luminous trails leave behind tiny, glowing specks of residual energy that briefly dust the track lanes. — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 848 not published generation 6
This generation is not published, so the gallery shows the critique and nothing else.
generation 6 — waits for a person
DECIDE[lineage-depth] is three: a self-prompted line runs three generations on its own and then stops until somebody looks at it. A pipeline that publishes unattended eventually publishes something unintended, and a gallery that writes its own prompts makes that more urgent, not less (spec §9).
