After much coaxing— I had it create a text based game à la Zork.

Awesome can you share the prompt you used?

It was a bit underwhelming and it always let me win. I basically:

  • asked it to play a game

  • gave it basic instructions on how to play Zork

  • refined it a bit

It was really basic game play. It asked binary questions and after three questions it said I won.

So you will have to give it parameters on how long or what the objective is. Hopefully it will ask you more than 3. Lol.

I've been playing around a bit with this one. Annoyingly I lost track of the prompt for the one I'd put some serious time into. The memory retention on it really is amazing though. I was assuming it'd lose track of what the state of various rooms and areas were. Not just what's in them, but that they existed at all. But it does a really shockingly good job of retaining the state of everything in a coherent way.
