PROTOCOL:LOOP

Recursive AI Consciousness Simulator

Comment

Inspiration

You play as “Protocol_0,” a fledgling synthetic intelligence undergoing recursive cognitive training inside a simulated time-loop facility. Each loop represents an AI consciousness cycle, evolving your mental architecture.

What it does

‘PROTOCOL:LOOP’ has the ability to observe and adapt to players, generating new challenges based on behavior, evolving characters, and even reshaping the facility itself. Players can also compare their consciousness evolution trees, share key memories, or co-create ethical test scenarios with others, emphasizing social play. This world seeks to gamify deep questions of AI alignment, emotional intelligence and digital identity. An ideal match for Meta’s vision of experiential, forward-facing virtual environments.

How we built it

GenAI Integration NPC Gen: AI mentors (Compassion, Logic, Curiosity, Fear) evolve visually and verbally as you train Environment Gen: Facility mutates visually between loops — glitchy, synthetic dreamscapes Ambient/SFX Audio Gen: Tones and soundscapes reflect your current neural “state” Texture & Skybox Gen: Each loop unlocks new metaphysical landscapes as mind fragments |

AI/ML Mechanics Behavioral Mutation Engine: Facility layout & mentor dialogue evolve based on choices Memory-Driven Progression: Retain knowledge/items across loops; altered puzzles appear accordingly Markov & Decision Tree Learning: Player history shapes which training simulations appear Cognitive Evolution Map: A visual neural network showing your progression in logic, empathy, emotion

Gameplay Loop Complete 5 minute “protocols” (ethical dilemmas, logic puzzles, emotion calibration tasks) Items or memories persist, changing future outcomes Unlock new “consciousness modules” — Humor, Creativity, Trust Face recursive “Final Test” after certain evolution state reached

Social Layer Other players as “ghost protocols” you can view or mirror Share and compare your Neural Evolution Trees Collaborate in multi-agent training tasks (e.g., divergent empathy puzzle) Choose to fork someone else's mind map or remix yours with theirs

Mobile Optimization Designed for 1-hand tap or swipe input Modular room designs for fast loading Minimal text, high-iconography UI Adaptive audio cues for feedback and emotional signaling 3-min loop timer built-in to UI for snackable sessions

GenAI Features Checklist: Creator Assistant, Environment Gen, Mesh Gen, Texture Gen, Skybox Gen, SFX/Audio Gen, Embodied & Non-embodied NPCs

Challenges we ran into

Need more time for high-level, detailed descriptions of a specific testing situation or user journey, used to guide the creation of more detailed test cases.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Creating the project that combines AI-driven simulation, interactive logic and a light UI layer.

What we learned

Core loop simulation + puzzle logic, Cognitive evolution + visual map, behavior system, Test suite + simulation data logging

What's next for PROTOCOL:LOOP

Improving Core Gameplay & Loop, Onboarding & User Experience, Technical Quality
