Interactive fiction (text adventure) and Mud framework

This fork uses an LLM backend to describe things in a more vivid way. (LLM not included)

By default it uses KoboldCpp, but if you're feeling adventurous you can change llm_config.yaml in the tale/ folder to another one.

1. Download repo, either with 'git clone' or as a zip.
2. Run 'pip install -re requirements.txt'
3. Start KoboldCpp (port 5001 by default)
4. Start with python -m tale.demo.story

There are some other demo stories in the repo as well.

Tale requires Python 3.5 or newer. (If you have an older version of Python, stick to Tale 2.8 or older, which still supports Python 2.7 as well)

Required third party libraries:

• appdirs (to load and save games and config data in the correct folder).
• colorama (for stylized console output)
• serpent (to be able to create save game data from the game world)
• smartypants (for nicely quoted string output)

Optional third party library:

• prompt_toolkit (provides a nicer console text interface experience)

Read the documentation for more details on how to get started, see http://tale.readthedocs.io/

EXAMPLE STORIES

There is a trivial example built into tale, you can start it when you have the library installed by simply typing: python -m tale.demo.story

On github and in the source distribution there are several much larger example stories and MUD examples.

• 'circle' - MUD that interprets CircleMud's data files and builds the world from those
• 'demo' - a random collection of stuff including a shop with some people
• 'zed_is_me' - a small single player (interactive fiction) survival adventure
