# Implementation Summary
|
||||
|
||||
## ✅ Completed Features
|
||||
|
||||
### Backend (`main.py`)
|
||||
- **Isolated Character Sessions**: Each character has a separate conversation history that only they and the storyteller can see
|
||||
- **Private WebSocket Channels**:
|
||||
- `/ws/character/{session_id}/{character_id}` - Character's private connection
|
||||
- `/ws/storyteller/{session_id}` - Storyteller's master connection
|
||||
- **Message Routing**: Messages flow privately between storyteller and individual characters
|
||||
- **Scene Broadcasting**: Storyteller can narrate scenes visible to all characters
|
||||
- **Real-time Updates**: WebSocket events for character joins, messages, and responses
|
||||
- **Pending Response Tracking**: System tracks which characters are waiting for storyteller responses
|
||||
- **AI Suggestions** (Optional): Endpoint for AI-assisted storyteller response generation
|
||||
|
||||
### Frontend Components
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. **SessionSetup.js**
|
||||
- Create new session (storyteller)
|
||||
- Join existing session (character)
|
||||
- Character creation with name, description, and personality
|
||||
- Beautiful gradient UI with modern styling
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. **CharacterView.js**
|
||||
- Private chat interface with storyteller
|
||||
- Real-time message delivery via WebSocket
|
||||
- Scene narration display
|
||||
- Conversation history preservation
|
||||
- Connection status indicator
|
||||
|
||||
#### 3. **StorytellerView.js**
|
||||
- Dashboard showing all characters
|
||||
- Character list with pending response indicators
|
||||
- Click character to view their private conversation
|
||||
- Individual response system for each character
|
||||
- Scene narration broadcast to all characters
|
||||
- Visual indicators for pending messages
|
||||
|
||||
### Styling (`App.css`)
|
||||
- Modern gradient theme (purple/blue)
|
||||
- Responsive design
|
||||
- Smooth animations and transitions
|
||||
- Clear visual hierarchy
|
||||
- Mobile-friendly layout
|
||||
|
||||
### Documentation
|
||||
- **README.md**: Comprehensive guide with architecture, features, and API docs
|
||||
- **QUICKSTART.md**: Fast setup and testing guide
|
||||
- **.env.example**: Environment variable template
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔐 Privacy Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
The core requirement - **isolated character sessions** - is implemented through:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Separate Data Structures**: Each character has `conversation_history: List[Message]`
|
||||
2. **WebSocket Isolation**: Separate WebSocket connections per character
|
||||
3. **Message Routing**: Messages only sent to intended recipient
|
||||
4. **Storyteller View**: Only storyteller can see all conversations
|
||||
5. **Scene Broadcast**: Shared narrations go to all, but conversations stay private
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Character A → Storyteller: "I search the room"
|
||||
Character B → Storyteller: "I attack the guard"
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Storyteller sees both messages separately
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Storyteller → Character A: "You find a hidden key"
|
||||
Storyteller → Character B: "You miss your swing"
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Character A only sees their conversation
|
||||
Character B only sees their conversation
|
||||
```

||||

## 🚀 To Run
|
||||
|
||||
**Backend:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python main.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Frontend:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd frontend && npm start
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎨 Design Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
1. **WebSocket over REST**: Real-time bidirectional communication required for instant message delivery
|
||||
2. **In-Memory Storage**: Simple session management; can be replaced with database for production
|
||||
3. **Component-Based Frontend**: Separate views for different roles (setup, character, storyteller)
|
||||
4. **Message Model**: Includes sender, content, timestamp for rich conversation history
|
||||
5. **Pending Response Flag**: Helps storyteller track which characters need attention
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔮 Future Enhancements
|
||||
|
||||
- Database persistence (PostgreSQL/MongoDB)
|
||||
- User authentication
|
||||
- Character sheets with stats
|
||||
- Dice rolling system
|
||||
- Voice/audio support
|
||||
- Mobile apps

# 📝 Development Session Summary
|
||||
|
||||
**Date:** October 11, 2025
|
||||
**Project:** Storyteller RPG Application
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ Fully Functional MVP Complete
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 Project Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Built a **storyteller-centric roleplaying application** where multiple AI character bots or human players interact with a storyteller through **completely isolated, private conversations**.
|
||||
|
||||
### Core Concept
|
||||
- **Characters communicate ONLY with the storyteller** (never with each other by default)
|
||||
- **Each character has separate memory/LLM sessions** - their responses are isolated
|
||||
- **Storyteller sees all conversations** but responds to each character individually
|
||||
- **Characters cannot see other characters' messages or responses**
|
||||
- Characters can use **different AI models** (GPT-4, Claude, Llama, etc.) giving each unique personalities
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🏗️ Architecture Built
|
||||
|
||||
### Backend: FastAPI + WebSockets
|
||||
**File:** `/home/aodhan/projects/apps/storyteller/main.py` (398 lines)
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Components:**
|
||||
1. **Data Models:**
|
||||
- `GameSession` - Manages the game session and all characters
|
||||
- `Character` - Stores character info, LLM model, and private conversation history
|
||||
- `Message` - Individual message with sender, content, timestamp
|
||||
- `ConnectionManager` - Handles WebSocket connections
|
||||
|
||||
2. **WebSocket Endpoints:**
|
||||
- `/ws/character/{session_id}/{character_id}` - Private character connection
|
||||
- `/ws/storyteller/{session_id}` - Storyteller dashboard connection
|
||||
|
||||
3. **REST Endpoints:**
|
||||
- `POST /sessions/` - Create new game session
|
||||
- `GET /sessions/{session_id}` - Get session details
|
||||
- `POST /sessions/{session_id}/characters/` - Add character to session
|
||||
- `GET /sessions/{session_id}/characters/{character_id}/conversation` - Get conversation history
|
||||
- `POST /sessions/{session_id}/generate_suggestion` - AI-assisted storyteller responses
|
||||
- `GET /models` - List available LLM models
|
||||
|
||||
4. **LLM Integration:**
|
||||
- **OpenAI**: GPT-4o, GPT-4 Turbo, GPT-3.5 Turbo
|
||||
- **OpenRouter**: Claude 3.5, Llama 3.1, Gemini Pro, Mistral, Cohere, 100+ models
|
||||
- `call_llm()` function routes to appropriate provider based on model ID
|
||||
- Each character can use a different model
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Message Flow:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Character sends message → WebSocket → Stored in Character.conversation_history
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Forwarded to Storyteller
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Storyteller responds → WebSocket → Stored in Character.conversation_history
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Sent ONLY to that Character
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🔑 Key Technical Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. **Isolated Conversations (Privacy-First)**
|
||||
- Each `Character` object has its own `conversation_history: List[Message]`
|
||||
- Messages are never broadcast to all clients
|
||||
- WebSocket routing ensures messages only go to intended recipient
|
||||
- Storyteller has separate WebSocket endpoint to see all
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. **Multi-LLM Support**
|
||||
- Characters choose model at creation time
|
||||
- Stored in `Character.llm_model` field
|
||||
- Backend dynamically routes API calls based on model prefix:
|
||||
- `gpt-*` → OpenAI API
|
||||
- Everything else → OpenRouter API
|
||||
- Enables creative gameplay with different AI personalities
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. **In-Memory Storage (Current)**
|
||||
- `sessions: Dict[str, GameSession]` stores all active sessions
|
||||
- Fast and simple for MVP
|
||||
- **Limitation:** Data lost on server restart
|
||||
- **Next step:** Add database persistence (see NEXT_STEPS.md)
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. **WebSocket-First Architecture**
|
||||
- Real-time bidirectional communication
|
||||
- Native WebSocket API (not socket.io)
|
||||
- JSON message format with `type` field for routing
|
||||
- Separate connections for characters and storyteller
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. **Scene Narration System**
|
||||
- Storyteller can broadcast "scene" messages
|
||||
- Sent to all connected characters simultaneously
|
||||
- Stored in `GameSession.current_scene` and `scene_history`
|
||||
- Different from private character-storyteller messages

|
||||
## 🔍 Important Implementation Details
|
||||
|
||||
### WebSocket Message Types
|
||||
|
||||
**Character → Storyteller:**
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "message",
|
||||
"content": "I search the room for clues"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Storyteller → Character:**
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "storyteller_response",
|
||||
"message": {
|
||||
"id": "...",
|
||||
"sender": "storyteller",
|
||||
"content": "You find a hidden letter",
|
||||
"timestamp": "2025-10-11T20:30:00"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Storyteller → All Characters:**
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "narrate_scene",
|
||||
"content": "The room grows dark as thunder rumbles"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Storyteller receives character message:**
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "character_message",
|
||||
"character_id": "uuid",
|
||||
"character_name": "Aragorn",
|
||||
"message": { ... }
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Character joined notification:**
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "character_joined",
|
||||
"character": {
|
||||
"id": "uuid",
|
||||
"name": "Legolas",
|
||||
"description": "...",
|
||||
"llm_model": "gpt-4"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### LLM Integration
|
||||
|
||||
**Function:** `call_llm(model, messages, temperature, max_tokens)`
|
||||
|
||||
**Routing Logic:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
if model.startswith("gpt-") or model.startswith("o1-"):
|
||||
# Use OpenAI client
|
||||
response = await client.chat.completions.create(...)
|
||||
else:
|
||||
# Use OpenRouter via httpx
|
||||
response = await http_client.post("https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/chat/completions", ...)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Available Models (as of this session):**
|
||||
- OpenAI: gpt-4o, gpt-4-turbo, gpt-4, gpt-3.5-turbo
|
||||
- Anthropic (via OpenRouter): claude-3.5-sonnet, claude-3-opus, claude-3-haiku
|
||||
- Meta: llama-3.1-70b, llama-3.1-8b
|
||||
- Google: gemini-pro-1.5
|
||||
- Mistral: mistral-large
|
||||
- Cohere: command-r-plus
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🎨 UI/UX Highlights
|
||||
|
||||
### Color Scheme
|
||||
- Primary gradient: Purple (`#667eea` → `#764ba2`)
|
||||

|
||||
- Messages: Blue (sent) / Gray (received)
|
||||
- Pending indicators: Red badges
|
||||
- Status: Green (connected) / Gray (disconnected)
|

1. **No persistence** - Sessions lost on server restart
|
||||
2. **No authentication** - Anyone with session ID can join
|
||||
3. **No message editing/deletion** - Messages are permanent
|
||||
4. **No character limit** on messages (could be abused)
|
||||
5. **No rate limiting** - API calls not throttled
|
||||
6. **No offline support** - Requires active connection
|
||||
7. **No mobile optimization** - Works but could be better
|
||||
8. **No sound notifications** - Easy to miss new messages
|
||||
|
||||
### Security Considerations
|
||||
- **CORS is wide open** (`allow_origins=["*"]`) - Restrict in production
|
||||
- **No input validation** on message content - Add sanitization
|
||||
- **API keys in environment** - Good, but consider secrets manager
|
||||
- **No session expiration** - Sessions live forever in memory
|
||||
- **WebSocket not authenticated** - Anyone with session ID can connect
|
||||
|
||||
### Performance Considerations
|
||||
- **In-memory storage** - Won't scale to many sessions
|
||||
- **No message pagination** - All history loaded at once
|
||||
- **No connection pooling** - Each character = new WebSocket
|
||||
- **No caching** - LLM calls always go to API
|
||||

## 💡 What Makes This Special
|
||||
|
||||
### Unique Features
|
||||
1. **Each character uses a different AI model** - Creates emergent gameplay
|
||||
2. **Completely private conversations** - True secret communication
|
||||
3. **Storyteller-centric design** - Built for tabletop RPG flow
|
||||
4. **Real-time updates** - Feels like a chat app
|
||||
5. **Model flexibility** - 100+ LLMs via OpenRouter
|
||||
6. **Zero configuration** - Works out of the box
|
||||
|
||||
### Design Philosophy
|
||||
- **Storyteller is the hub** - All communication flows through them
|
||||
- **Privacy first** - Characters truly can't see each other's messages
|
||||
- **Flexibility** - Support for any LLM model
|
||||
- **Simplicity** - Clean, intuitive interface
|
||||
- **Real-time** - No page refreshes needed
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🔄 Context for Continuing Development
|
||||
|
||||
### If Starting a New Chat Session
|
||||
|
||||
**What works:**
|
||||
- ✅ Backend fully functional with all endpoints
|
||||
- ✅ Frontend complete with all views
|
||||
- ✅ WebSocket communication working
|
||||
- ✅ Multi-LLM support implemented
|
||||
- ✅ Scene narration working
|
||||
- ✅ Private conversations isolated correctly
|
||||
|
||||
**Quick test to verify everything:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Start servers
|
||||
./start.sh
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Create session as storyteller
|
||||
# 3. Join session as character (new browser/incognito)
|
||||
# 4. Send message from character
|
||||
# 5. Verify storyteller sees it
|
||||
# 6. Respond from storyteller
|
||||
# 7. Verify character receives it
|
||||
# 8. Test scene narration
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Common issues:**
|
||||
- **Port 8000/3000 already in use** - `start.sh` kills existing processes
|
||||
- **WebSocket won't connect** - Check backend is running, check browser console
|
||||
- **LLM not responding** - Verify API keys in `.env`
|
||||
- **npm/pip dependencies missing** - Run install commands
|
||||
|
||||
### Files to Modify for Common Tasks
|
||||
|
||||
**Add new WebSocket message type:**
|
||||
1. Update message handler in `main.py` (character or storyteller endpoint)
|
||||
2. Update frontend component to send/receive new type
|
||||
|
||||
**Add new REST endpoint:**
|
||||
1. Add `@app.post()` or `@app.get()` in `main.py`
|
||||
2. Add fetch call in appropriate frontend component
|
||||
|
||||
**Modify UI:**
|
||||
1. Edit component in `frontend/src/components/`
|
||||
2. Edit styles in `frontend/src/App.css`
|
||||
|
||||
**Add new LLM provider:**
|
||||
1. Update `call_llm()` function in `main.py`
|
||||
2. Update `get_available_models()` endpoint
|
||||
3. Add model options in `SessionSetup.js`
|

## 📝 Notes for Future You
|
||||
|
||||
### Why certain decisions were made:
|
||||
- **WebSocket instead of polling:** Real-time updates without constant HTTP requests
|
||||
- **Separate endpoints for character/storyteller:** Clean separation of concerns, different message types
|
||||
- **In-memory storage first:** Fastest MVP, can migrate to DB later
|
||||
- **Multi-LLM from start:** Makes the app unique and interesting
|
||||
- **No socket.io:** Native WebSocket simpler for this use case
|
||||
- **Private conversations:** Core feature that differentiates from group chat apps
|
||||
|
||||
### What went smoothly:
|
||||
- FastAPI made WebSocket implementation easy
|
||||
- React components stayed clean and modular
|
||||
- OpenRouter integration was straightforward
|
||||
- UI came together nicely with gradients
|
||||
|
||||
### What could be improved:
|
||||
- Database persistence is the obvious next step
|
||||
- Error handling could be more robust
|
||||
- Mobile experience needs work
|
||||
- Need proper authentication system
|
||||
- Testing suite would be valuable
|
||||

# 🚀 Next Steps for Storyteller RPG
|
||||
|
||||
## Immediate Improvements (Quick Wins)
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. AI-Assisted Storyteller Responses
|
||||
**Priority: High | Effort: Low**
|
||||
- [x] Backend endpoint exists (`/sessions/{session_id}/generate_suggestion`)
|
||||
- [ ] Add "✨ AI Suggest" button to StorytellerView response textarea
|
||||
- [ ] Show suggested response that storyteller can edit before sending
|
||||
- [ ] Allow storyteller to regenerate if they don't like the suggestion
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation:**
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// In StorytellerView.js - Add button next to "Send Private Response"
|
||||
const getSuggestion = async () => {
|
||||
const response = await fetch(
|
||||
`${API_URL}/sessions/${sessionId}/generate_suggestion?character_id=${selectedCharacter}`,
|
||||
{ method: 'POST' }
|
||||
);
|
||||
const data = await response.json();
|
||||
setResponseText(data.suggestion);
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Session Persistence
|
||||
**Priority: High | Effort: Medium**
|
||||
|
||||
Currently, sessions exist only in memory. Add database storage:
|
||||
|
||||
**Option A: SQLite (Simplest)**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pip install sqlalchemy aiosqlite
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Option B: PostgreSQL (Production-ready)**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pip install sqlalchemy asyncpg psycopg2-binary
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Files to modify:**
|
||||
- Create `database.py` for SQLAlchemy models
|
||||
- Update `main.py` to use database instead of `sessions: Dict`
|
||||
- Add session persistence on server restart
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
- [ ] Add markdown support in messages (bold, italic, etc.)
|
||||
- [ ] Add character avatars (emoji selector or image upload)
|
||||
- [ ] Add "Export conversation" button (save as JSON/text)
|
||||
- [ ] Show timestamp for when character joined
|
||||
- [ ] Add "Last active" indicator for characters
|
||||
|
||||

const rollDice = (notation) => {
|
||||
// Parse notation like "2d6+3", "1d20", etc.
|
||||
// Return result and show animation
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Features:**
|
||||
- Character can request roll from storyteller
|
||||
- Storyteller sees roll request and can approve
|
||||
- Results visible to storyteller only (or optionally to character)

||||
|
||||
## Quick Wins to Start With
|
||||
|
||||
If you're continuing development, I recommend starting with:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Add AI Suggest button** (30 mins) - The backend already supports it!
|
||||
2. **Add typing indicators** (1 hour) - Great UX improvement
|
||||
3. **Session persistence** (3-4 hours) - Prevents data loss
|
||||
4. **Dice roller** (2-3 hours) - Core RPG feature
|
||||
5. **Export conversations** (1 hour) - Users will love this
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes for Future Development
|
||||
|
||||
- All WebSocket messages use JSON format with a `type` field
|
||||
- Character conversations are stored in `Character.conversation_history`
|
||||
- Each character has their own LLM model configurable at creation
|
||||
- Frontend uses native WebSocket (not socket.io despite the package.json)
|
||||
- Backend runs on port 8000, frontend on port 3000
|
||||
- CORS is wide open for development - restrict in production!

||||
## 📝 Notes & Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Design Decisions:
|
||||
- **Database:** PostgreSQL for production, SQLite for development
|
||||
- **Auth:** JWT tokens with refresh mechanism
|
||||
- **Real-time:** Continue using WebSockets, add auth to connections
|
||||
- **AI Queue:** Celery for handling automated AI responses
|
||||
- **Caching:** Redis for session data and frequently accessed game state
|
||||
|
||||
### Challenges to Address:
|
||||
- **Race Conditions:** Multiple users editing same game state
|
||||
- **AI Cost Control:** Budget limits per game/user
|
||||
- **Scalability:** Support for multiple concurrent games
|
||||
- **Context Management:** LLM context windows for long games
|
||||
- **Latency:** AI response generation can be slow
|
||||

## Cost Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
Models are charged per token (roughly per word). Approximate costs:
|
||||
|
||||
- **$**: ~$0.50-1 per 1000 messages
|
||||
- **$$**: ~$1-3 per 1000 messages
|
||||
- **$$$**: ~$3-10 per 1000 messages
|
||||
- **$$$$**: ~$10-30 per 1000 messages
|
||||
|
||||
**Tips to save money:**
|
||||
- Use cheaper models (GPT-3.5, Claude Haiku, Llama 8B) for most characters
|
||||
- Reserve expensive models (GPT-4o, Claude Opus) for key NPCs or special moments
|
||||
- Mix and match based on character importance
|
||||
|
||||
## Setting Up API Keys
|
||||
|
||||
### OpenAI
|
||||
1. Create account at <https://platform.openai.com>
|
||||
2. Add payment method
|
||||
3. Generate API key at <https://platform.openai.com/api-keys>
|
||||
4. Add to `.env`: `OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...`
|
||||
|
||||
### OpenRouter
|
||||
1. Create account at <https://openrouter.ai>
|
||||
2. Add credits (starts at $5)
|
||||
3. Generate API key at <https://openrouter.ai/keys>
|
||||
4. Add to `.env`: `OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-...`
|

||||
## Testing Models
|
||||
|
||||
Try creating characters with different models and see how they respond differently to the same situation!
|
||||
|
||||
Example test:
|
||||
1. Create 3 characters with different models
|
||||
2. Have all three search a mysterious room
|
||||
3. Compare their unique approaches:
|
||||
- GPT-4: Methodical, detailed search
|
||||
- Claude: Creative interpretations
|
||||
- Llama: Bold, risky actions
|
||||
- Gemini: Logical deductions
|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced: Custom Model Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
You can add more models by editing `main.py`:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# In the get_available_models() function
|
||||
models["openrouter"] = [
|
||||
{"id": "your/model-id", "name": "Display Name", "provider": "Provider"},
|
||||
# Add more models here
|
||||
]
|
||||

## 🔍 Where to Find Things
|
||||
|
||||
### Adding New Features
|
||||
|
||||
**New WebSocket message type:**
|
||||
- Backend: `main.py` → `character_websocket()` or `storyteller_websocket()`
|
||||
- Frontend: Relevant component's `useEffect` → `ws.onmessage`
|
||||
|
||||
**New REST endpoint:**
|
||||
- Backend: `main.py` → Add `@app.post()` or `@app.get()` decorator
|
||||
- Frontend: Component → Add `fetch()` call
|
||||
|
||||
**New UI component:**
|
||||
- Create in: `frontend/src/components/NewComponent.js`
|
||||
- Import in: `frontend/src/App.js`
|
||||
- Style in: `frontend/src/App.css`
|
||||
|
||||
**New LLM provider:**
|
||||
- Backend: `main.py` → Update `call_llm()` function
|
||||
- Frontend: `SessionSetup.js` → Model selector will auto-update from `/models` endpoint
|
||||
|
||||
### Understanding How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
**Message flow (Character → Storyteller):**
|
||||
1. `CharacterView.js` → `sendMessage()` → WebSocket
|
||||
2. `main.py` → `character_websocket()` → Receives message
|
||||
3. Stored in `character.conversation_history`
|
||||
4. Forwarded to storyteller via `manager.send_to_client()`
|
||||
5. `StorytellerView.js` → `ws.onmessage` → Displays in UI
|
||||
|
||||
**Message flow (Storyteller → Character):**
|
||||
1. `StorytellerView.js` → `sendResponse()` → WebSocket
|
||||
2. `main.py` → `storyteller_websocket()` → Receives response
|
||||
3. Stored in `character.conversation_history`
|
||||
4. Sent to specific character via `manager.send_to_client()`
|
||||
5. `CharacterView.js` → `ws.onmessage` → Displays in UI
|
||||
|
||||
**How LLM integration works:**
|
||||
1. Character chooses model in `SessionSetup.js`
|
||||
2. Stored in `Character.llm_model` field
|
||||
3. When generating response: `call_llm(character.llm_model, messages)`
|
||||
4. Function routes to OpenAI or OpenRouter based on model prefix
|
||||
5. Returns generated text to be sent to character
|
||||
|
||||
### Styling
|
||||
|
||||
**Global styles:**
|
||||
- `App.css` → Lines 1-100 (body, session-setup)
|
||||
|
||||
**SessionSetup styles:**
|
||||
- `App.css` → Lines 18-180 (setup-container, input-group, divider, model-selector)
|
||||
|
||||
**CharacterView styles:**
|
||||
- `App.css` → Lines 181-350 (character-view, character-header, messages)
|
||||
|
||||
**StorytellerView styles:**
|
||||
- `App.css` → Lines 351-704 (storyteller-view, character-list, conversation-panel)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🛠️ Quick Modifications
|
||||
|
||||
### Change default LLM model
|
||||
**File:** `main.py` line 47
|
||||
```python
|
||||
llm_model: str = "gpt-3.5-turbo" # Change default here
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Change ports
|
||||
**Backend:** `main.py` line 397
|
||||
```python
|
||||
uvicorn.run(app, host="0.0.0.0", port=8000) # Change port here
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Frontend:** `package.json` or set `PORT=3001` environment variable
|
||||
|
||||
### Change API URLs
|
||||
**File:** `SessionSetup.js`, `CharacterView.js`, `StorytellerView.js`
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
const API_URL = 'http://localhost:8000'; // Change this
|
||||
const WS_URL = 'ws://localhost:8000'; // And this
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Add new available model
|
||||
**File:** `main.py` → `get_available_models()` function (lines 323-351)
|
||||
```python
|
||||
models["openai"].append({
|
||||
"id": "gpt-4o-mini",
|
||||
"name": "GPT-4o Mini",
|
||||
"provider": "OpenAI"
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Modify color scheme
|
||||
**File:** `App.css`
|
||||
- Line 13: `background: linear-gradient(...)` - Main gradient
|
||||
- Lines 100-150: Button colors (`.btn-primary`)
|
||||
- Lines 400-450: Message colors (`.message.sent`, `.message.received`)

```
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 Phase 1 Starting Point
|
||||
|
||||
**First Task:** Implement Public/Private Message System
|
||||
|
||||
**Steps:**
|
||||
1. Update `Message` model in `main.py`:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
class Message(BaseModel):
|
||||
visibility: str # "public", "private", "mixed"
|
||||
public_content: Optional[str]
|
||||
private_content: Optional[str]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Create message type selector in `CharacterView.js`:
|
||||
```jsx
|
||||
<select onChange={handleVisibilityChange}>
|
||||
<option value="public">Public Action</option>
|
||||
<option value="private">Private Action</option>
|
||||
<option value="mixed">Both</option>
|
||||
</select>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Update WebSocket message handling:
|
||||
- Filter messages based on user role
|
||||
- Storyteller sees all
|
||||
- Players see only public messages from others
|
||||
|
||||
4. Update UI to show message type indicators
|
||||
|
||||
**Estimated Time:** 3-5 days
|
||||
|
