How to Play

Note: The game works kind of better if everyone is in a call using something like discord. Also put quotation marks (ex: ' ' or " ") around any text input and try to keep your answers short. All of this info is also on the web frontend. Press [f12] to open the console and read chat.

clear(), clear console for you
msg(' text input '), send a normal message to chat
win(' socket id of player you picked (text input) '), if you are the text-reader then you use win() to pick the best answer to a prompt
answer(' text input '), if you are NOT the text-reader use this function. Note: if the prompt has more then one answer, please label your answer using numbers, ex: (1) example text (2) example text
score(), gives you back the score of each player
list_player(), gives you a list of all the players who have joined the game
ideas(), if you can't think of any ideas for an answer
