discussion Automatic Walkthrough Generator

[Jdubs1885]

Not the right thread but the Dev thread seems fairly dead. I would like to create an automatic walkthrough generator for our games. Wanted to see if this is already something that has been done or if it is even possible. I don't know why it wouldn't be but I'm fairly new with development TIA

One of the main problems you'd run into building a generic tool that works for different games is that 'scoring' is implemented differently in almost every game - often at the presentation level, but almost definitely in the backend. To be able to generically scrape the game files and figure out different paths you'd need to be able to understand the way the game decides what paths you're on.

That said, it wouldn't surprise me if Claude would be able to take a decompiled renpy project and build a walkthrough for you in a few minutes, +/- some hallucinations.

Yeah I have a somewhat working prototype with like you said a few hallucinations but yes that's basically it's the decompiling the game and after that it's mostly "if then". I feel like I'm getting close to hammering it out. Currently just focused on Ren'Py structure.
