Infinite Story is a text-based adventure game where you can choose your own path. The story is infinite, and you can keep playing forever. This is done through the use of aritificial intelligence, which generates the story as you play.
While I have set up a default story for you to start with, the AI will generate new content as you play, so you will never run out of story to explore. You can also choose to define your own starting point, by providing a text file with the story you want to start with.
To get started, take a look at the StoryPrompt.txt file. This file contains notes that the AI uses to generate the start of the story. You can edit this file to change any aspect of the story.
You are able to either run the AI locally through Ollama, or use the OpenAI API.
Note
To run the AI locally, you will need to install Ollama and llama3. To use the OpenAI API, you will need to set up an account and get an API key.
From there, you will have to choose a model to use. The default model is gpt-3.5-turbo for when using OpenAI, and llama3 when running through Ollama- but you can choose any model that is supported by OpenAI or installed on Ollama (e.g. gpt-4, mistral, etc.)
Keep in mind, I store your OpenAI api key (somewhat insecurely) in the .key file at the root of the program. I welcome any pull requests that improve this security.
Just run InfiniteStory.exe, and follow the prompts to get set up.
To run the game from source, you will need to have dotnet 8 installed, which you can get from here. You can then run the game by executing the following commands:
dotnet restore
dotnet runIf you would like to contribute to the project, feel free to fork the repository and make a pull request. I am always looking for ways to improve the game, and I welcome any contributions.
- Add more API options for the player to choose from (Cohere, Antropic, etc.)
