Describe the Proposed Solution

• Languages
  • Python
  • HTML (HTMX for sockets?)
• Techs/Frameworks/APIs/Libraries
  • FastAPI
  • Redis
  • OpenAI (or AI)
  • Sockets? (Py module?)
• Design Patterns?
• Architectural Patterns?

1. Pick langs
2. Pick hosting
   • Discord?
   • Webserver?
   • Binary/.exe?
   • Unity -> WebGL? Mobile? .exe?
3. Pick 3rd party shit...
   • Frameworks
   • Libraries
     • Leverage LLMs/AI for "realistic" human dialog...
   • Deploying service (if needed...)
   • DBs (if needed...)
   • Caching (if needed...)
   • Assets (if needed...)

Tech Stack

• Web Sockets (lib tbd)
• In-Memory Caching (really simple just data structures in memory for lobbies, Redis to scale if for whatever reason we want to)
• Whatever DB i dont think it matters (might even make the beta all in-memory and say frick a DB... live life on the wild side... games should be One Shots anyway?)
• Vue?, React?, Vanilla JS?, HTMX? (verrrry simple UI, but we could get as spooky and dark as we want w graphics)
  • Unless someone is inspired by some direction w graphics such as 3D or something.. could integrate Blender or Unity or WebGL or ThreeJS or idk whatever)
• All of these are open for revision!...
