Really cool! Perhaps you could also take a look at what we are building at https://snips.ai (disclaimer: I'm a co-founder) to make a 100% on-device and private-by-design Voice AI which runs even on a RaspberryPi 3

it would be awesome to do this on a raspi, without requiring internet connection!

Great idea. I really like idea of not requiring an internet connection. Self contained projects are more reliable and portable. Also this project is aimed towards students so privacy is a real concern.

The way I built it should be easy to use another voice ai input. The Alexa module of the code just passes the commands to the Core logic. It's all built in node.js.

I built this for Alexa Skills Challenge: Tech for Good. https://devpost.com/software/code-by-voice . More details about how it was built can be found there.

Seems like the skill needs a lot of semantic knowledge. This is less coding than a meta game.

The game template supplies the available events/action/value. The Game Creator guides you through the available options supplied by the template. It then tries to use a human speech like interface to receive the input, the game logic. Currently there is only one game template. Each new game template would need to supply it's own possible events/actions/values to suit it's needs.

A game template looks something like this: https://gist.github.com/jamesfdickinson/65b9f5a05f4902468c46...

What’s the IP status of recordings sent to Amazon? Might that affect the IP of the code produced?

The project is designed to help students to understand the basic of coding logic using their voice. Think of it more like a coding lesson for beginners. Many at this level use drag and drop coding. Code.org has many drag and drop coding lessons. The difference here is it uses voice. The recordings are not part of the code produced, just plain text. This version cannot make production like code, just add game logic to an already created game template.

Is this the template for the example? If so where does the logic for columns of boxes and stars come from?
