Are 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).

Hey! One of the authors of the paper here. Actually, many of our generated levels are playable because our model actually predicts the path of a search algorithm (A* agent) that was able to solve a ton of levels. MarioGPT is not always perfect though, as it sometimes predicts impossible jumps lol

Very cool, it's an awesome project, and thanks also for replying!
