Game Mode

[ceolinwill]

Game Mode allows users to learn by exploring the real world, using real locations and map APIs to create an immersive experience. When activated, it fetches the user's location and generates a goal based on their interests and goals. Each goal consists of missions that must be completed to progress. However, this is an open-world system, meaning other users can see and start existing goals as well.

AI-Generated World, Persistent Data

Game Mode relies on AI to generate data dynamically, including:

• New goals based on user interests.
• Resources and materials—where they are found or purchased.
• Trade opportunities—where users can buy or sell items.

However, once generated, this data is saved to our database, meaning:

• If AI determines that silicon is available for mining or purchase in specific locations, that information becomes permanent.
• Future users who need silicon can access that same data without requiring AI generation again.

A Dynamic, Evolving World

Like in real life, resources can change locations based on user actions. For example:

• A user in Brazil buys silicon and sells it in South America, where it was previously unavailable.
• Now, future players searching for silicon in South America will find it there.

This means the virtual world continuously evolves as users trade, build, and interact.

Inventory & Resource Management

Inspired by No Man’s Sky, users manage an inventory filled with resources and materials, collected by:

• Visiting locations
• Completing missions
• Interacting with other users

Users can also trade resources with others and use them to craft materials. Brand products are automatically added as materials, and each material has a recipe showing the resources needed to build it. If users lack a material, they must first gather the necessary resources, triggering a new goal to acquire them.

Real-World Simulation

Game Mode mimics real-world dynamics:

• Travel requires resources – Users need materials to access transportation (e.g., money for a train ticket).
• Natural resources follow real-world locations – If a user needs silicon to build a computer, they must visit a place where silicon is naturally found or trade for it.
• Users can create and sell products – Players can build their own products and brands and sell them in a marketplace designed for showcasing and trading. These must be fictional brands.

Team Goals & Social Interaction

Some goals require teamwork. Users might need to recruit people for a project, finding them on the map. These could be real users or NPCs (non-playable characters).

Environmental & Ethical Impact

• No harmful items – Users cannot create weapons, explosives, or drugs. They can be punished for attempting to do so and even have their account suspended if they try to do anything that violates our guidelines.
• Environmental consequences – Actions affecting the environment impact the entire community:
  • Polluting activities increase world pollution levels.
  • High pollution levels lead to health issues, resource scarcity, and even natural disasters.
  • Doing good actions like planting trees or cleaning up trash helps reduce pollution and improve the environment.
  • This system encourages sustainability and responsible decision-making.

Game Mode merges education, real-world application, and game mechanics, creating an engaging way to learn, collaborate, and build while fostering environmental awareness.
