Repository files navigation

• README

An interactive detective game where you interrogate AI-generated suspects to find the real criminal.

AI Detective Game is a React-based web application that creates a unique detective experience each time you play. The game generates:

• A crime scenario
• 6 unique suspects with backstories and personalities
• Interactive interrogation sessions with each suspect

1. Start a new case
2. Review the crime scenario
3. Interview each suspect by asking questions
4. Look for inconsistencies - five suspects will lie with obvious mistakes about police procedures
5. Identify the real criminal - only one suspect tells the truth about committing the crime
6. Make your accusation!

• Built with React and Vite
• Uses TailwindCSS for styling
• Integrates with a local LLM API (Ollama using Llama3.2 by default)
• Includes fallback responses if AI is unavailable
• Responsive design for mobile and desktop

1. Clone the repository
2. Install dependencies: npm install or bun install
3. Start the dev server: npm run dev or bun run dev
4. For AI integration: run Ollama with Llama3.2 on port 11434

You can customize the AI model by changing the AI_MODEL variable in the App.jsx file.

This project uses:

• React
• TailwindCSS
• Lucide Icons
• Ollama (for LLM integration)
