AI Interactive Fiction Engine

Objectives

• Build a text-based game engine with player input and AI-generated responses
• Implement persistent world state tracking (locations, NPCs, inventory, flags)
• Create dynamic NPC dialogue that adapts to player history and choices
• Support branching storylines with consequence tracking across chapters
• Add multiplayer mode where multiple players influence the same story world

Hints

• Use a state machine to track world state and feed it as context to the LLM
• Store player choices and outcomes to build a consequence graph
• Use function calling to let the LLM update game state (move player, add item, change NPC mood)
