Did you know that you can create games with LLM's? I used ChatGPT to build a game like Six Degrees to Kevin Bacon, with a twist: The player provides hints, not an actor name.
Gaming is big business. Globally, gaming industry sales exceed combined film and music sales. AI allows us to quickly develop games that are loosely structured with high ambiguity. Check out this variation of Six Degrees to Kevin Bacon. Instead of asking the LLM to connect an actor to Kevin Bacon, the player gives clues. The LLM must use the clues to guess the actor, then connect them to Kevin Bacon. Given the ambiguity, you might find the LLM even fixes bad clues.
Here are some sample hints/prompts:
- she was a cheerleader in two movies, and also spoke Albanian.
- ok, she was a slayer and a Scooby Doo groupie
- this bald man would say, "i'm tryin' to think but nutthin happens"
- this actor, who played a purser in a 70's/80's show about a boat. later in real life, he represented Iowa in Congress.
- he played an ex-Army major who roams the country helping law enforcement in Netflix series. Unlike the movie version, this actor is muscular for the part.
For instructions, type "INSTRUCT" and click "Send." Then prompt away! Wait 20 seconds after you click send. It takes time to get a reply, especially with obscure actors.
If the game is unavailable, please check later as I update billing.
