## 📝 Development Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Message Types (New Feature)
|
||||
```
|
||||
PUBLIC: "I shake the merchant's hand"
|
||||
PRIVATE: "I attempt to pickpocket him"
|
||||
MIXED: Both public and private actions in one message
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Character Profile Structure
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "Thorin",
|
||||
"gender": "Male",
|
||||
"race": "Dwarf",
|
||||
"class": "Warrior",
|
||||
"personality": "Serious",
|
||||
"llm_model": "anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet",
|
||||
"custom_prompts": {
|
||||
"background": "A grizzled veteran...",
|
||||

|
||||
You are focused and pragmatic. Speak gruffly..."
|

```
|

|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 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
|

|
||||
## ❓ Key Questions to Answer During Development
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Authentication:** JWT vs Session-based?
|
||||
2. **Database:** PostgreSQL or MongoDB?
|
||||
3. **Deployment:** Docker, cloud provider?
|
||||
4. **AI Costs:** Budget limits per game/user?
|
||||
5. **Scaling:** How many concurrent games?
|
||||
6. **Context:** How to handle long game histories with LLM limits?
