I enjoyed it too, although it hallucinated about my state and claimed we were now the worldwide top provider of legal torrents, when I'd taken drastic measures to protect against takedown of illegal content.
It also seemed too easy to win, like you'd have to try to lose.
Still a lot of fun!

#13This is amazing. It's much more interesting when you enter your own responses, but autogenerated ones are also useful sometimes. Is it a finished project or do you have plans for future updates?

#14How about having at least an inventory to take/drop random objects. It will also be interesting to have more languages available

Losing is the real challenge.

#16This is amazing! I just played through a text adventure game that probably would've taken a skilled human a week to make, not including the artwork. Incredible! I'm having trouble using my own URL with it. I'm trying to generate a text adventure from a blog post I wrote about air quality (christian.gen.co/air) but ` https://infinityarcade.com/https://christian.gen.co/air ` redirects to ` https://infinityarcade.com/ge…
thanks! i think the content might be too long, i can look into adding a summarizer first which should help

i've experimented with this a little and wrote about the tradeoffs here https://themaximalist.com/infinityarcade/
it's currently pretty difficult to get the models to output sane game state, it should be possible soon though
in the meantime i'm calling this YOLO CODE!

sorry about that, the primary issue is the context length gets too long and ChatGPT starts throwing errors
it'd be interesting to create embeddings for the game and try to create longer games that way, though it might hallucinate more frequently.
gpt-4-32k should also be a big help to creating longer games

#19Would be great if it somehow kept track of a score. As is it's amazing to look at and the plot is vaguely interesting, but it doesn't feel like an actual game.

#20This is unbelievable - and given it appears to generate interactive games from prompts, I want to use it for our annual infosec training requirement.
