• Codenames GPT

  

  PythonNextJSAI

  An implementation of the popular board game Codenames, integrating ChatGPT to provide clues and guess. Codenames is a word-based party game where players split into two teams. Each team has a "spymaster" who gives one-word clues to help their teammates guess specific words on a grid. The grid consists of words that represent agents, bystanders, and an assassin. The goal is to guess all the words associated with your team before the other team does, while avoiding the assassin, which ends the game immediately.
