This repository implements a simple single-player version of the codenames game by Vlaada Chvátil. The simulator is based on the Codenames simulator by Thomas Ahle.
You can play as the agent or the spymaster, and an AI will take up the opposing role, using word embeddings to generate clues or guesses. This implementation only optimizes the AI spymaster for better clue generation; the AI agent implementation has not been modified from Ahle's simulator.

If you would like to use the full Wikipedia GloVe word embeddings, run the following. Otherwise, a set of embeddings trained on a subset of Wikipedia articles are already in the repository (see dataset/wiki_subset_vectors.npy).
$ sh get_glove.sh

When playing games, the metrics used to create your score will be stored in a file results.csv. A more user-friendly display of the game, including the initial board, clues, and guesses taken will be stored in a file game_log.txt. As you play, additional game logs will be added to these files; previous games will not be overwritten.
