The characters on the screen do not move. #18

In the termin, I can see the character's actions, but they are not reflected in the screen:http://localhost:8000/simulator_home. And also the Replaying. The demo can run perfectly.

So there are currently issues with the backend server you'll need to fix to get it working, but even a single step can take a good 60+ seconds with the 3 character base because openAI is used so much in a sequential manner. During this time (before a movement/N.json file is created) the character isn't going to do anything until eventually the step completes, the movement file is created for that step, and the frontend picks that up, which is confusing for sure. Once that completes though, the time will update and you will see the characters like so..

UPDATE: Looks like if the initial starting of a simulation can take a while.. probably the daily planning and other bootstrapping perhaps, but then the characters are sleeping and during that time, they aren't using GPT? I've made a ticket to have characters start in the morning so you aren't waiting so long to see if something is happening too..

Yeah, see the ticket for this.. basically you can't refresh the page or look at character details right now or the frontend will break for some reason.

@frankcarey Could you link to that ticket?

I found out why this problem was occurred. reverie.py didn't check and create movement folder in process. I fixed this problem by #55 .

mberman84 commented 1 year ago

Even with the movement folder issue fixed, the simulation completed successfully but replaying it does nothing.

However, when I try to replay one of the example simulations provided with the repo, it works perfectly.
