TERMINATE CONDITION HIT
- Install the latest version of Python 3.
- Install the OpenAI Python package.
- Install pexpect to control the Oregon Trail process.
- Clone the repo.
- The Oregon Trail can be installed in a number of ways and it depends on your system.
- The original BASIC source was made public in 1978 and implementations of that can be found online (example1, example2).
- I found it easy to use this Python 3 implementation of the code. Just install (download) the repo onto your system and then edit the config accordingly.
- It is important that the version you choose runs in the terminal without any graphical interface. ChatGPT needs to be able to read the program's output after all.
- Add your OpenAI API key to config.ini.
- Ensure The Oregon Trail command in config.ini is correct or update it for your specific install.
- If Installed with the Python link from above it will work with the default (Just ensure the path is correct for your install location).
- python3 chatgpt_plays_ot.py
- Run default application.
- python3 chatgpt_plays_ot.py -h
- Display help message.
- python3 chatgpt_plays_ot.py -m "gpt-4"
- Use model "gpt-4".
- python3 chatgpt_plays_ot.py -U
- UNLEASHED mode. This lets ChatGPT play without user interaction until OT process terminates.
