Generating Game Elements with AI

[ryanraposo]

Background

An experiment demonstrating the possiblity of generating game elements with OpenAI's completion API.

Method

# Simple OpenAI completion playground 

import os
import openai

def getCompletion(prompt):
    openai.api_key = "YOUR_KEY_HERE" 
    completion = openai.Completion.create(
        model="text-davinci-002",
        prompt=prompt,
        max_tokens=1028
    )
    return completion.choices[0].text.strip()

while True:
    input_prompt = input("Enter a prompt:")
    completion = getCompletion(input_prompt)
    print(completion)

Results

Each line is a prompt, with previous answers looped in:

• There are three possible traits: power-hungry, lonely, violent. Ryan is: power-hungry

• Since Ryan is power-hungry, his life goal is to: gain political power

• If you wanted to gain political power, your video-game style enemy would be a: politician

• Politician is an enemy in an rpg. his attack is called: media blitzkreig

• Politician is an enemy in an rpg. he is weak to an attack called: punch

• If you wanted to gain political power, you would always carry this with you: disguise

• If you wanted to gain political power, your favourite phrase would be: "The people have spoken!"

• You want to gain political power. Your parents want you to: be a doctor

• There are three possible outcomes when encountering other people: respect, disdain, mystery. Since you want to gain political power, the most desireable outcome is: Respect

Background

In this example, a character sheet is generated with:

• One prompt
• An arbitrary but restrictive preface
• Edit instructions for the model (text-davinci-edit-001): "Fill in the blanks"

Method: Code

import os
import openai

openai.api_key = "YOUR_KEY_HERE"
completion = openai.Edit.create(
    model="text-davinci-edit-001",
    input="There are three possible traits: power-hungry, lonely, violent.\n\nRYAN\n\nTRAIT: ___\nLIFE GOAL: ____\nVIDEO-GAME STYLE ENEMY NAME: ____\nENEMY ATTACK NAME: ____\nENEMY WEAK TO ATTACK NAMED: ____\nALWAYS CARRY: ____\nFAVOURITE PHRASE: ____\n\n",
    instruction="Fill in the blanks",
    temperature=0.7,
    top_p=1
)

print(completion.choices[0].text.strip())

Method: Playground

Results

A personal favourite:

There are three possible traits: power-hungry, lonely, violent.
