I've been working on an OpenAI "Assistant" based on MIT's canonical Structure and Interpretation of Computing Programs (SICP). [1] The idea is basically a text-adventure vibe, set in a magical realm, to play on the books esoteric / wizard-y vibes.<p>I initially built this via the Assistant API, and then ported over to the new GPTs creator once that became widely available today.<p>In addition to the source material, I created the outline of a curriculum in collaboration with the new, giant-context GPT4 beta, as well as a set of gameplay mechanics. As you progress, you get awarded things like honorary titles, coins, etc. At first these were Emoji, but then I realized that with DALL-E enabled in the bot, I could have it generate the artwork on-the-fly in the 16bit RPG aesthetic I was after. It works in a kind of pseudo-Scheme language, and seems able to 'evaluate' your answers.<p>Anyway, this is just for fun and I'd love to hear what you think. Given the standard limitations of LLMs, there's sure to be the odd hallucination here and there – but, I've found it to be pretty fun. It can adapt to your skill level, and at the base-level I was aiming for something that even a 9 year old would have fun playing.<p>1: SICP is licensed under Creative Commons Share Alike.
