# unpack the files
unzip dairector_pretrained_examples.zip

Run

source env/bin/activate
# example 1a, generate a new subgraph from the entire plotto conflict graph
python markovgenerator.py -t outputfile.json plottoconflicts.json
# example 1b, interactive story telling using the plot subgraph and tv tropes hints
python -W ignore storyteller.py outputfile.json tvtropes.json tvtropesmodel.bin plottomodel.bin

Interactive Beat Generation

The storyteller is interactive, it understands the following commands:

  • next [cue_text]
  • hint [cue_text]
  • quit

next uses the vector model from plottomodel.bin to find the next story beat based on the given cue text.

hint uses the tvtropesmodel.bin to find an appropriate trope.

Install pocketsphinx

pip install pocketsphinx==0.1.15
pip install PyAudio==0.2.11

Basic Usage

Improvisors on stage can cue the system to provide the next plot point or the next hint. The improvisors provide the dialogue for each plot clause.

Training a new model

python topicvectors.py tvtropesmodel.bin tvtropes.json
