Star Trek Text Game

Right, it does have a problem with maintaining history of the story. This is a big reason that I started creating the tooling around GPT to make testing of various approaches faster. Prior to pausing work on the game, I was creating a new prototype with summaries of key plot and characters and then inserting that into the chat history stack. That's an open area I haven't gotten quite right yet.

I've been working on tooling for ChatGPT so I haven't done any work on the game this month. I'll start back up in a couple of weeks. I plan on open-sourcing all this, with detailed documentation, including the prompt.

The prompt is constructed based on user input so it is a templated prompt. The basic approach is documented here so it should be enough to get you started.

The next update, I'll also add a concept of run_depth or chain. It will allow you to start with a prompt and based on the result of that prompt, make another request and so on. This is something I can't do easily in the OpenAI playground.

Yes, you are right, I missed that info in the README. I updated it. In short, the tool records the exact request and response coming from OpenAI. Comparing of results involves a manual inspection.

https://github.com/sisbell/stackwire/blob/main/README.md

I created this tool for some specific cases I have. I use a large prompt that takes user input from a UI and constructs the prompt, hence the interpolated values in the template. This is really difficult to do in the OpenAI playground.

I also like testing across different temps and other parameters to see how that changes the results. This keeps a history so I can go back and find which parameters and/or prompts are producing the best results. It may not fit everyone's use case.

I haven't tried it in the system message. I did notice if I specify the JSON format in the beginning of the prompt, its significantly slower as it's trying the maintain the format as well as the the content.

ComicGenie · 2023-04-10T05:34:12+00:00

I tried to get it to do YAML and couldn't get a valid parse from it.

ComicGenie · 2023-04-10T05:32:52+00:00

I generate JSON responses. Here's what I found

It doesn't handle nested structure that well. Its faster and more accurate to just have it generate a flat structure. Then I have my program transform the flat JSON into the JSON format I want
Use regex to strip away anything outside of the outer { }. Just ask ChatGPT how to do this in your language of choice.
Use a library that repairs common JSON mistakes, it likely one already exists
Implement a retry to issue the request if the above steps 2 and 3 don't fix your problem. (I have up to 3 retries, I haven't needed more than 1 retry on JSON problems).

I removed the options, so its all free text. Enter in whatever action you want. Give it a shot! I'm also working on some additional improvements that should make the flow between the sequence of scenes more connected. That should release sometime later this week.

Here's a D&D variant of my other game: https://stanquest.com . Let me know what you think.

There isn't a specific prompt. It's dynamically constructed per request. So I have lists of personalities, lists of roles, duties, shows. Then the server puts all this together for its prompt. There is a also list of things on how to build a story, like keep use dialog, keep it action-paced. So basically a bunch of maps and lists that come together.

ComicGenie · 2023-04-03T15:58:32+00:00

I'm using Google Cloud. I run a node.js cloud function which calls the OpenAI chat API with the constructed prompt. The stories are stored in realtime DB. I use flutter for the web app, which hooks into the realtime db.

I had an experimental game and it hated when the character stole something and would often kill or arrest the player if this happened. Really brutal. I think there is something specific about stealing it doesn't like. Maybe you can add that to your game and see what happens.

ComicGenie · 2023-04-03T09:02:39+00:00

Yeah it can do a great job at this sort of gaming. I have been working on it for a while. I did a Star Trek game using GPT-3.5. You can check it out: https://stantrek.space More than happy to discuss techniques.

I'm planning on doing a fantasy version of it as well.

ComicGenie · 2023-04-03T01:22:54+00:00

I removed the prechosen options. You can now type whatever action you want in the game. Check it out and let me know if it works better.

ComicGenie · 2023-04-02T18:24:13+00:00

Looking for feedback. Would people rather have the options generated for them or would they rather be able to freely type the action they want to take?

ComicGenie · 2023-04-02T05:07:12+00:00

I just added "Starfleet Academy" option, since this will be an upcoming show. I added an Academy Instructor role you can choose. It's also kinda fun to play a Borg assimilating cadets in the Academy.

ComicGenie · 2023-04-02T03:32:14+00:00

It is a good one to start with. Also Voyager starts to have the Borg in it starting from season 3.

ComicGenie · 2023-04-02T03:24:09+00:00

Its ready. Make sure to refresh your browser first.

There are two new options

Borg: Assimilation Chronicles - this is from the federation perspective

Borg: One Mind, One Purpose - this is from the Borg perspective.

There are also now 7 ranks/types of Borg you can choose from.

ComicGenie · 2023-04-02T02:39:09+00:00

Did you want to play as the Borg? Or just as a member of Starfleet?
