I created this to automate the process of setting up ChatGPT or some other similar LLM to act as a DM in a game of "Dungeons and Dragons". If you want to do this manually, you could start with a player character sheet for each player, and explain each detail to the LLM in a prompt, such as character attributes, skills, race, background, etc. After this the LLM can help you begin the game and you would just interact with the LLM through chat dialogs. This works great, but is difficult to manage and eventually the LLM starts to forget about things due to the context limitations.
To workaround these limitations, this project attempts to implement a stateful database and a MUD style navigation system. Information about "rooms" is stored in the database backend and retrieved via gRPC calls from the client to the server. Ultimately, it is our goal to be able to network other servers, and figure out things like economies, currencies, exchanges, even possibly doing this all in a decentralized manner.
The web front-end is used to generate new characters. The gRPC backend is used to keep state and store information in the database, and perform navigation. Communication through the DM after character creation is typically going to be done through a chat system like IRC or Discord.
After a user navigates to a room, if it is a new room that has never been explored, the ChatGPT DM will describe the room, and then save it using gRPC, to the database. In future versions, a networked version would possibly broadcast a message about it to a system like Kafka (TBD). Perhaps each room is a 'topic' in kafka, users that are in that room subscribe to that topic, and if a new user joins or something dynamic happens in that room, they are made aware/updated.
Finally, the description of the room is used to create generative AI art of what that room might look like, and then the link to that picture is displayed or rendered to the user, depending on the client (Dall-E).
If we can, I would also like to generate background music for that scene and start playing it for the users.
