NEURAL NET WARS

(note: this is a heavily work-in-progress concept)

Neural Net Wars is a game where you control a human character to fight against bots controlled by an AI (customizable to run against different LLM's and their API's, such as OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)

Requirements

To run Neural Net Wars, you need the following Python packages:

• pygame>=2.5.2
• pyttsx3>=2.90
• pydub>=0.25.1
• simpleaudio>=1.0.4

You can install the required packages using the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

How to Play

Use the arrow keys or W, A, S, D to move your character. Press SPACE to start a new game or ESC to exit.

Features

• LLM implementation basis
• GUI frontend via pygame
• ASCII grid and graphical representation of the game state in the backend
• can be piped to LLM's/LLM API's
• bots taunting the player in footer messages & over audio w/ TTS.

TODO

• AI-controlled bots using a neural network.
• more sound effects and animations.
• power-ups and obstacles, other game features etc.

About

WIP! Only rudimentary functionalities here at the moment.

i.e. LLM calling is currently a placeholder -- actual functionality coming soon, hopefully!
