Word Warp Wagon

A "Broken Telephone" based misinterpretation game. Transforming user's guidance by a chain of text generation characters into final destination. Styled as a visual comic/newspaper of Wild West era.

Comment

Inspiration

Needed something simple that folks can relate to and self-navigate with such plain interfaces. LangChain lands itself nicely for transformation of text.

What it does

Transforms user's description of destination into, hopefully, unrecognizable surprise.

How we built it

Chain together Text generation widgets and resulting Image generators of the descriptions.

Challenges we ran into

  • Very rudimental UI/UX to manage readers flow
  • No practical way to insert a background or other means to visually guide user through narrative
  • Can't save milestone snapshots without publishing
  • Prompt structure is far from what's available in documentation
  • Very hard to get rid of generated preamble in responses
  • Periodic Jurassic model errors hard to debug and figure out where in chain are they generated since there is no direct API calls we control:
    • Sorry, this content could not be generated due to an error, please try again. (Unexpected token '<', "<!DOCTYPE "... is not valid JSON)
  • Error (Prompt contains filtered content) - no control over why following model classifies previous output as such
  • Can't resize images from default square
  • Stable Diffusion context window is way, way conservative for any creative results ## Accomplishments that we're proud of
  • Integrate "Hero's journey" throughline into the LangChain
  • Tune prompts to resemble believable characters ## What we learned Prompt only LLM are quite limited in practical and concise output without RAG or other hand holding ## What's next for Word Warp Wagon Print an ad in LLMS Quarterly magazine:

_Howdy, young buckaroo! Ever played that game where you whisper a secret and it turns into a giant mess by the end? Well, saddle up for Wild West Whisper Down! It's like that, but way wilder and way more awesome.

Here's the lowdown: you whisper your top-secret mission (think finding hidden treasure, rescuing a damsel in distress, or taming a fire-breathing stallion) to the sheriff. Then, he yells it to his posse, one cowboy at a time. Each fella relays the message to the next, but things get mighty twisted along the way, funnier than a skunk at a hoedown!

Finally, the last wrangler shouts what he heard. Is it totally bonkers or spookily close to your original plan? That's the rootin' tootin' fun of Whisper Down! Every round is a laugh riot, and the crazier the directions get, the more epic your Wild West adventure becomes!

So grab your six-shooter (made of spit, mind you!), gather your posse (your best buds), and get ready to holler your brains out in Whisper Down! It's wilder than a rodeo clown on a sugar rush, and guaranteed to leave you yeehaw-ing for more!_
