Workshop: Super Smash Bros bot tournament

Sat, Jul 11, 12:15 AM

From Code for Sydney

4.7

This month we are running a workshop into creating bots for the computer game Super Smash Bros Melee. We can then face our bots off against each other in a kockout tournament to see who has built the ultimate agentic fighter! The framework we will be using is based off of the Dolphin Nintendo Gamecube emulator and the Libmelee Python library. Feel free to clone and start playing with it now, or we will be running through installing the dependencies and getting up to speed on the day. https://github.com/Code-for-Sydney/smash-for-sydney What will you do? \- hand craft a bot to use Jigglypuff's powers to her full potential? \- write a bot that randomly smashes buttons? \- port the SmashBot code over to this framework? \- get an LLM to write a bot from your natural language instructions? PR's to improve the framework are also very welcome as it is is very bare bones right now. Also please do join the discussion on Discord [https://discord.gg/wPmp25Xnm5](https://discord.gg/wPmp25Xnm5) Code for Sydney is a collaborative coding club where tech meets real-world impact. We gather to solve meaningful problems, experiment with code and explore the possibilities of AI. Join us to learn, build and connect with Sydney's tech community! Networking with fellow software engineers, designers and student/s welcome! If anyone would like to present a quick talk or propose a project idea, do talk to us!

Offline Morning

From OffMode

4.9

**A Sunday morning for the things you keep meaning to do.** **Offline Morning** is part of OffMode’s July event series - slow social gatherings for people who want more from their free time than rushing, scrolling, and saying they’ll make time for their hobbies “soon.” The first part of the morning is yours. Read. Journal. Draw. Let your mind wander while enjoying your morning coffee. We’ll also have creative materials around the room so you can pick up something you’ve been meaning to return to. Then, the room opens. Games come out. Tables mix. Conversations start. The morning shifts from quiet solo time into warm, real-life energy. You might leave with a new friend, a calmer mind, a few pages read, a half-finished drawing, or just the rare feeling that your Sunday actually belonged to you. ## **How the morning unfolds:** **10:00am – 10:30am \| Arrive & get cosy** Lock your phone away and get cosy. **10:30am – 11:30am \| Connect with yourself** Read, journal, draw, write, think, relax, or do your own offline thing. **11:30am – 1:00pm \| Connect with others** This is where the morning shifts from quiet solo time into real-life connection. Think of conversations and games with people who also chose to spend their Sunday a little differently. **1:00pm – 1:30pm \| Wrap\-up** Get your phone back and enjoy the rest of your Sunday feeling a little more present and lighter. See you offline, *OffMode*

Offline Night

Thu, Jul 30, 7:30 AM

From OffMode

4.9

**A mid-week escape with no distractions, new people, and good drinks.** **Offline Night** is part of OffMode’s July event series - slow social gatherings for people who want more from their free time than rushing, scrolling, and saying they’ll make time for their hobbies “soon.” Think low lights, good drinks, shared tables, and easy conversations with people who also chose to spend their Thursday night differently. The night starts slow. Arrive, put your phone away, and step out of the week for a while. Read, journal, sketch, write, or simply do nothing and relax. We’ll have creative materials around if you feel like picking something up. Then, the room comes alive. Conversations start. Tables mix. Strangers become familiar. The night gets warmer, louder, and a little more unexpected - the way it does when people are actually in the room with each other. Come alone. Come curious. Come as you are. **A better mid-week ritual starts here.** ## How the night unfolds: **5:30pm – 5:45pm \| Arrive & settle in** Put your phone away, get cosy & grab a drink **6:00pm – 7:00pm \| Connect with yourself** Read the book you keep meaning to open. Journal. Sketch. Write. Explore a new hobby. This is time to slow down, rediscover your creativity, and remember what you enjoy when no one is asking you to be productive. **7:00pm – 8:00pm \| Connect with others** Join a game, follow a conversation, meet someone new. This part of the night is all about making connection feel easy - no pressure, just people in the same room choosing to be present. **8:00pm – 8:30pm \| Wrap\-up** Get your phone back and step into the rest of your week feeling lighter, calmer, and more present.

From Sydney's Friends and Connections Events Group!

4.7

**Harbour After Dark 🌆** Where meaningful conversations, genuine connection, and new friendships begin. Step into a different kind of Friday night. Harbour After Dark brings together Sydney locals who are driven, social, established in what they do, and value genuine conversation, authentic connection, and meeting like-minded people in person. In a world of Zoom calls, remote work, endless scrolling, and busy schedules, many of us are craving something more human. A chance to step away from the screens. To unwind after the week. To meet new people naturally. To enjoy conversations that feel easy, genuine, and energising. Over the past few years, Harbour After Dark has grown into a well-established social gathering where people come to expand their social circles, reconnect with familiar faces, and meet new people in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Many of our guests have been attending for years and often bring friends along, while new faces join every month, making it easy to feel welcome whether it's your first event or your tenth. ✨ Dress Code: Smart casual to cocktail attire. 🍸 Drinks, cocktails, food, and coffee are available for purchase throughout the evening. 📅 Friday, 7 August 🕡 6:30 pm – 9:30 pm 📍 Pumphouse Bar & Restaurant 17 Little Pier St, Darling Harbour NSW 2000 My goal has always been to create a space where people can genuinely relax, connect, and enjoy being around good people.

Human hearted community of practice (COP)

Sun, Jul 12, 1:00 AM

From Human Hearted Sydney

4.7

**Event summary:** The monthly human hearted community of practice (COP) is both a support group, and a mutual encouragement group, for people who want to explore living a more human hearted life. The COP is part of Human Hearted Sydney's goal of building community. Please feel free to join us for a session if you're interested. **Who is the COP for ?** The COP is for people who dislike the alienation and emptiness of our modern finance driven society, and are looking for a new form of community - one based on the reality of our human social capacities such as sympathy and friendship, rather than based on returning to religion and other traditional practices. If you would like to be part of building a supportive community for living out socially positive values in today’s world we encourage you to come along and check it out. **Some background: The meaning problem modern society faces -** The development of modern society has seen the destruction of earlier systems of meaning, like religion and tradition. They have not been replaced by a new set of ethics or community, but by market values and hyper individualism. This has created a world of material wealth in which far too many people feel insecure, alone, and unlikely to succeed. We now live in an atomised society in which each person suffers alone and there is no form of community, or meaning other than material wealth, to sustain them. This has led to substantial increases in loneliness and mental health issues like anxiety in modern society. Now there is even a category called ‘[deaths of despair](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disease_of_despair#:~:text=The%20three%20disease%20types%20are,%2C%20West%20Virginia%2C%20and%20Delaware.)’ that refers to people whose reliance on drugs, alcohol etc. to numb their isolation from society leads to their early death. **More background: The solution we will look at -** The obvious solution to the collapse of values in modern society is to build alternative forms of community. Many groups try to achieve this by calling for a return to religious values, or building new religions. As humanists we do not turn to religion but the best of the human potential to provide a foundation for community groups. [Human heartedness](https://web.archive.org/web/20240109160949/https://areomagazine.com/2022/05/05/a-human-hearted-modernity/) is an approach to life which sees humans as inherently social beings. It is backed both by many famous thinkers of the past, and by the findings of recent neuroscience and evolutionary studies which show the path to human happiness and fulfillment is more dependent on building good relationships and positive social connection than on competition and being purely ‘rational’. So one part of the solution to the existential emptiness of modernity is for people to build small communities; groups of like minded people who want to live in a more human hearted way, and support each other to live better in the face of modernity’s onslaught. There are other parts of the solution of course. However in relation to this event our focus is on setting up a COP to support each other to practice living in a more human hearted way, and to provide communal support generally in today’s disenchanted world. **Basic structure of this meeting:** The meeting will be facilitated by a member of the Sydney humanist community and will involve a brief talk explaining human heartedness and the problems of modernity. Then we will proceed to conduct our regular COP meeting. The meeting will finish with a Q/A and discussion period, followed by a lunch and more informal discussion. **Donations:** While this event is free, we would be grateful if you chose to make a [donation](https://www.humanistsaustralia.org/donate) to sustain Humanists Australia which would help it to continue delivering events that serve the community in Sydney. **Please note Date Time and Venue:** In July 2026 the meeting will be held on the second Sunday of the month (July 12th) at 11:00AM. The venue is level one of Darling Square Library. The room we'll be in is called Idea Space 2 **Directions:** The venue is a ten minute walk from both Town Hall and Central station. The Darling Square Library is part of a hive-shaped building called The Exchange. The Idea Spaces are on level one of The Darling Square Library which is accessible via elevators facing towards Darling Square and stairs which are on the other side of the building. Please ask the library staff if you need assistance finding where we are in the library.
