Reception

In the February 1998 edition of Dragon (Issue #244), Rick Swan acknowledged he was already a fan of the Hong Kong Action Theatre! RPG, and thought Film Festival 1 "presents 15 top-notch adventures." Swan's favorites were "Five Fists of Kung Fu", and "Magic Hunter".[2]

gollark: No, lambda calculus is a relatively simple model you can understand fairly easily.
gollark: And with neural networks, you don't actually know *how* the network does its job, just that you feed in pixels and somehow get classification data out.
gollark: There is still not, as far as I know, an approach to detect what an object is other than just training neural networks on the task.
gollark: It's simple to say, for example, "the program should detect if something is a bird", but incredibly hard to actually explain how to detect birds.
gollark: Yes. A lot of the time something can be simple to *vaguely describe* but really hard to describe precisely enough for you to actually program it.
