Show HN: Syneva – An AI Chatbot Ported to a Kids' Tile-Based Limited Game Engine

I made SYNEVA as a part of my fun-research repo while I learn about LLMs at https://github.com/Kuberwastaken/MiniLMs

I came across Sprig while Scrolling through Hack Club, it's a Javascript game engine that's like Scratch's older brother (fun fact, it's partially made by Scratch's creator too) but has it's own set of unique limitations because it runs on a custom hardware.

All sprites need to be made in Bitmap, you have to use single character variable names but most importantly, you can only use 8 characters to control the "game".

I had to make a virtual keyboard implementation (which was awful btw) using WASD to navigate keyboard, K to select and I to send the message.

also, it doesn't have any audio support and uses an event sequencer to get any music into it (got around it by making https://github.com/Kuberwastaken/Sprig-Music-Maker that converts midis to it)

SYNEVA is a rule based chatbot, so not technically AI but hey, still pretty fun and really cool to use (I also made it understand slang and some brainrot, so try that out too lol)

Hope you enjoy it :)
