Procedural Generation of First Person Shooter Maps using Map-Elites
arXiv:2605.30570v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We investigate the application of MAP-Elites (a well-known quality diversity algorithm) to design levels for First-Person Shooter (FPS) games. We consider two well-known map representations (All-Black and Grid-Graph) and introduce two novel representations (Point-Line and Spatial-Layout) that improve the characterization of FPS maps.
Producing Quality Pseudorandomness with a Generalized Gauss Continued-Fraction Map
arXiv:2605.05378v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Well-known chaotic maps, such as the logistic and tent maps, have been used to generate cryptographically secure pseudorandomness, yet we know of no efforts which attempt to use the Gauss continued-fraction map, a known chaotic map, as a starting point for producing quality pseudorandom output. In this paper, we consider the family of $r$-continued-fraction maps, which generalize the Gauss map, and use them to generate pseudorandom...

Mini Motorways is letting players vote for its next city map
Mini Motorways is letting players vote for its next city map The traffic management sim Mini Motorways is once again asking players to vote for its next map. Developer Dinosaur Polo Club just put up a website that lets folks choose from four city maps, including Vienna, Auckland, Singapore and Lima. The city with the most votes will get an official map in the game later this year, and it will be available for free on all current platforms.
Supreme Court allows Alabama to use congressional map that eliminates a majority-Black district
The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed Alabama to use a congressional map that eliminates one of two majority-Black districts in the state in a win for Republicans. The justices, split 6-3 on ideological lines with conservatives in the majority, granted an emergency request filed by Republican officials seeking to use the map, which was enacted in 2023 but has never been used. In the unsigned three-page order, the court said the state is likely to ultimately prevail on its claim that the map...
Black voting power takes a hit as Supreme Court revives Alabama’s contested map
Black voting power takes a hit as Supreme Court revives Alabama’s contested map The justices granted the state’s emergency appeal, allowing the use of a map adopted three years ago that features a majority-Black population in only one of its seven congressional districts. The three liberal justices on the bench dissented from the decision - Bookmark - CommentsGo to comments The Supreme Court has cleared the way for Alabama to implement a congressional map that favors Republicans in this...
New maps chart old-growth forests across Alaska and British Columbia
New maps chart old-growth forests across Alaska and British Columbia Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Mature and old-growth forests are vital for biodiversity, carbon storage, cultural traditions and economic activity. But in Alaska and British Columbia, these rich resources have not been reliably mapped, leaving much unknown about what land is protected. Now, University of Oregon researchers are leading a comprehensive mapping effort that sheds light on the location,...
Scientists mapped every neural connection in a fruit fly and found a surprise
Scientists mapped every neural connection in a fruit fly and found a surprise Scientists have completed the first full brain-to-body wiring map of a fruit fly, revealing that behavior may be driven more by local neural teamwork than by a central brain command center. - Date: - June 10, 2026 - Source: - Harvard Medical School - Summary: - A groundbreaking new connectome maps every neural connection in an adult fruit fly’s central nervous system, creating an unprecedented view of how the brain...
Strong Stochastic Flow Maps
arXiv:2606.01086v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Flow and diffusion models generate high-quality samples in many modalities; however, many network evaluations are required during inference due to numerical integration of an underlying differential equation. Flow maps alleviate this problem by learning the solution map of the differential equation directly, enabling few-step sampling. Yet, current methods are restricted to approximating the solution map of ODEs.
MapAgent: An Industrial-Grade Agentic Framework for City-scale Lane-level Map Generation
arXiv:2606.04513v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Lane-level maps are critical infrastructure for autonomous driving and lane-level navigation, yet constructing and maintaining standardized lane networks for hundreds of cities remains highly labor-intensive. Recent end-to-end vectorized mapping methods can predict lane geometry and topology directly from sensor data, but they typically treat mapping specifications and traffic regulations as implicit, dataset-dependent supervision. Moreover, in...
