AI Dungeon Guide

InAI Dungeon Guide is not just a dungeon crawler — it is an experiment in giving a traditional Python game a real mind.

I started with a simple maze-based dungeon game. Normally, players walk in blindly, guess paths, fall into traps, and face enemies without any meaningful support. The game world never “thinks.” It only waits for input.

I wanted to break that rule.

So I transformed the entire dungeon into something alive — a world with its own intelligent presence. Inside this dungeon lives an AI companion powered by ERNIE, capable of understanding the map, predicting dangers, and guiding the player like a real strategist.

For the first time, the game itself becomes aware of:

where the player is

what threats are nearby

which path is safest

what mistake the player might make

where the exit could be

Using ERNIE’s reasoning, the AI Guide reads the dungeon like a human would, then speaks back with natural, adaptive hints.

It doesn’t give random suggestions — it thinks. It warns you before danger. It encourages when you’re close to the goal. It becomes your invisible partner inside the maze.

This project shows how even a classic offline Python game can evolve into an intelligent, reactive, emotionally engaging experience when modern LLM reasoning is added.

By combining simple gameplay with real-time AI analysis, AI Dungeon Guide proves that a small game can feel surprisingly smart — almost magical.spiration
