Tips for Building the Prompt:
- Delete the brackets once you enter your own keywords into the prompt.
- Remind your game bot mid-game if they forget anything like items. Then look over your prompt to make any necessary fixes.
- Add descriptions of the locations as well as the rooms/areas in the examples within the prompt. This will help the bot make vivid illustrations of the areas users find themselves in.
- Reiteration can help game bots function better. If your bot is forgetting aspects of the game, come back to the prompt and copy and paste those parts in another area in the prompt.
- Test your bot out in a private room after completion. This will ensure you catch any mistakes the bot may be making.
