# Base Quest

This is an experimental Farcaster frame app for an AI text-based adventure powered by the Base L2.
Base Quest is still a work in progress and subject to change.

## How it Works

This high level diagram explains the frame states & how menu actions are managed generically.
Buttons can be passed to the menu in the GET parameter, and map to the business logic - essentially acting as a router.

Several awesome SDKs & frameworks are leveraged to accelerate developement:

Coinbase OnChain Kit: For frame helpers & future onchain actions.

- https://github.com/coinbase/onchainkit

Neynar: Making it easy to interact with Farcaster

- https://neynar.com/

OpenAI: For chat completions & image generation.

- https://openai.com

Inngest: For executing background jobs (there is latency when generating images + certain onchain actions)

- https://www.inngest.com/

Vercel: For hosting, and easy programmatic OpenGraph image generation:

- Check out `/src/app/api/image/prompt/route.tsx` as an example
- https://vercel.com/docs/functions/edge-functions/og-image-generation/og-image-examples

### Basic AI Workflow

Base Quest uses the OpenAI GPT 3.5 Turbo model to narrate & continue the storyline.
That means each user's journey is completely unique!

Check out the `/src/app/api/prompt/route.tsx` file to see how the AI prompt loop works:

1. AI generates the prompt & button options
- system: You are the narrator in a choose your own adventure text-based game.
- The user is a {class} starting their first adventure.
- Write a character narration prompt (up to 100 characters), and present the user with either 2 or 4 action options to continue the story.
- Action options should be either emoji(s) or short button text (up to 14 characters)
- Return a JSON response like so: { }
2. Present options as next frame og:buttons
3. Feed the previous prompt & user selected action to the next prompt screen

### Onchain Interactions

To avoid timeouts and for better resiliency - Inngest is leveraged to run serverless jobs async & in the background.
This pattern has better monitoring, auto-retrys, and decouples business logic from the frame rendering.

Check out `/src/app/inngest/functions.tsx` to see how this works.

We use the InstaMint.sol contract - developed by my team at Coinbase & optimized for gas & ease of use!
The NFT factory contract is available at:
Sepolia Testnet: `0x4d64cAc5Bd09c7CaC9748D1E5a63A30Ee40B6A40`
