AIGE is a Node.js library that utilizes the OpenAI API to generate text-based games in any universe.
Developers can integrate AIGE into their own projects to create games that are unique every time.
AI-based games can go off the rails and not make sense sometimes, but that's part of the fun!

- 🎮 Create games in any universe
- 🗨️ Chat with any character
- 🎨 Generate images for various game elements using DALL-E
- 👨💻 An "action" in the game can be any prompt, allowing virtually infinite possibilities
- 📝 The game will suggest actions for the player to choose from
- 🧠 Manage game state with a simple API
- 📦 Export and import games as JSON
- 🚨 Track game events with event listeners
- 🧰 Track stats, scene, inventory, characters, abilities, quests, and more
- 🤖 Powered by OpenAI API (planned support for additional LLMs)
Just want to play some games? Try the CLI!

OpenAI's API can sometimes be slow to respond with larger schemas, and the create and update tools have fairly heavy schemas. As time goes on, both OpenAI and AIGE will improve and become faster.
Optimizations Coming:
- Allow custom schemas to reduce token usage by pruning unused data, and allowing flexibility in game structure
- Chunk the creation and action calls into smaller pieces to reduce token usage per call, giving faster responses
The default models are gpt-3.5-turbo-1106 and dall-e-2. You can set the models in the GameClientOptions to use others. Creating a game and performing an action uses ~2000-3000 tokens.
