This is genius! But I couldn't find the thumb up and thumb down emojis. How am i supposed to make it guess Gladiator?

It guessed properly when I gave it swords-stadium-king.

I went with Swords-stadium-man and it got it with that as well.

I wanted to put this bug report in its own thread so it wouldn’t distract from my main comment: oddly it told me on my first round today that “Black Panther” wasn’t the right guess for “Black Panther.” I had used the prompt ⬛ ⬛ and it said: “Black Panther ” I tried a slightly different variation and it guessed BP again and was accepted.

Note: my clue emoji above seems to have been stripped by HN. Just to be clear my prompt was more creative than “black square black square”!

That's really strange! I should probably add some logic to strip whitespaces for that validation, thank you!

One more quibble after playing today (Superbad was hard). I feel like GPT should not re-guess the same wrong movie multiple times. Perhaps you could remind it in your prompts that it’s “not A or B” on turn C.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

That's right, they're not available. From testing as I developed this, I noticed that certain emojis often lead to complaints from GPT 3.5 about how the combinations were too generic. After some really basic testing I ended up removing the 3 worst offenders from the emoji picker: ['+1','-1','okay_hand'].

What about country flags? For Gladiator I considered the Italian flag (and then also the thumbs up/down).

Btw Italy flag was a good idea for that one. It worked for me :)

Some technical notes. Even for something like this, the OpenAI API can be expensive - there's a few decisions I made that keep costs lower.

1. I cache guesses and responses in Redis when I first see them, so I don't need to hit the API for duplicate guesses (which are common when lots of people are guessing the same movies).

2. Emoji order doesn't matter (I apply a sorting to guesses).

3. Guesses are not path dependent, with each guess being treated as completely new. This is understandably annoying when GPT guesses the same incorrect movie multiple times, but it drastically improves the cache-ability and keeps me from hitting my API limits.

Happy to answer any questions here! If you'd like to reach out to me my email is in my bio.

country flags are enabled - the search displays the Italian flag if I type in "italy". However if I type "italian", it doesn't match to the flag unfortunately.

They weren't there for me on Windows. Another one I found missing is the superhero emoji. (I'm not missing those emojis on the system, because elsewhere they work.)

Now I'm on macOS and I don't see anything missing other than the ones that you intentionaly removed.

Pretty entertaining concept, but I guess the site was developed with mobile in mind ? It's frustrating to use on a laptop, it looks like about 80% of the page is unused black space, with a big bar at the bottom, and the actual emoji area is smaller still, I can see about 3 rows worth of icons.

Works well for me on a PC.
