You can get AI to play your own games at codenames.suveenellawela.com
Here's a short blog post I published with my findings (7000+ views). And the blog post got featured on Hacker News ranking #7 at its peak. There were a lot of interesting comments, have a look here.
New to Codenames? Here's a 3-minute video explaining how it works.
- See AI play a game with random words
- See AI play a game with a custom set of words and a custom board (If you just finished playing a game, see how AI would have played it)
- Replay previous games ( Currently this is suppored only for a test game )
- Add your own API key to use OpenAI models
Custom Game input:
During our lunch breaks, my colleagues and I have been enjoying games of Codenames. In one round, the clue giver faced the challenge of connecting "carrot" and "ray." At the end of the game, I asked ChatGPT for a suggestion, and it came up with "Orange", a pretty clever clue! My own idea was "Laser."
That got me thinking: how good could AI be at playing Codenames? So, I built this.
First, run the development server:
npm install
npm run devOpen http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.
