🔍 Coding with GPT.
*Creating a Streamlit app for a "Choose Your Own Adventure" style game based on the "Arcana Duello" graphic novel outline you've provided involves several steps. This includes setting up the UI, handling user interactions, and managing the game state. Below is a Python code listing that implements a basic version of this game using Streamlit.

This example demonstrates how to use various Streamlit features such as session state for maintaining game state across interactions, file uploader for customizing user avatars, camera input for a more interactive experience, callbacks for reacting to user choices, randomness for simulating dice rolls, and UI elements like markdown, expander, and columns for a rich user interface.

import streamlit as st
import random

Function to roll dice using emojis

def roll_dice():
return random.choice(['⚀', '⚁', '⚂', '⚃', '⚄', '⚅'])

Initialize session state variables if they don't exist

if 'current_stage' not in st.session_state:
st.session_state['current_stage'] = 'introduction'
if 'player_avatar' not in st.session_state:
st.session_state['player_avatar'] = None

Title

st.title("📖 Arcana Duello: A Magic Card Adventure")

Sidebar for user customization

st.sidebar.title("👤 Customize Your Character")
st.session_state['player_avatar'] = st.sidebar.file_uploader("Upload your avatar", type=["jpg", "png"])
if st.session_state['player_avatar'] is not None:
st.sidebar.image(st.session_state['player_avatar'], caption='Your Avatar', use_column_width=True)
else:
st.sidebar.camera_input("Take a picture")

Game stages navigation

stages = {
'introduction': "Introduction",
'rising_action': "Rising Action",
'climax': "Climax",
'falling_action': "Falling Action",
'conclusion': "Conclusion"
}

def navigate_stage(stage_key):
st.session_state['current_stage'] = stage_key

Display current stage of the game

st.header(stages[st.session_state['current_stage']])

Game content based on the current stage

if st.session_state['current_stage'] == 'introduction':
st.write("In a realm where magic cards dictate destiny, Jace dreams of victory.")
if st.button("Begin your journey"):
navigate_stage('rising_action')

elif st.session_state['current_stage'] == 'rising_action':
st.write("As Jace ascends, a dark shadow looms, hinting at battles ahead.")
col1, col2 = st.columns(2)
with col1:
if st.button("Train with Garruk"):
navigate_stage('climax')
with col2:
if st.button("Confront Liliana early"):
navigate_stage('climax')

elif st.session_state['current_stage'] == 'climax':
st.write("In a clash of destiny, Jace and Liliana's duel shakes the foundation of Arcana.")
st.write(f"Dice Roll: {roll_dice()} 🎲")
col1, col2 = st.columns(2)
with col1:
if st.button("Use your strongest card"):
navigate_stage('falling_action')
with col2:
if st.button("Attempt a strategic retreat"):
navigate_stage('falling_action')

elif st.session_state['current_stage'] == 'falling_action':
st.write("Victory is bittersweet as Jace uncovers truths and looming threats.")
if st.button("Uncover the truth about your past"):
navigate_stage('conclusion')

elif st.session_state['current_stage'] == 'conclusion':
st.write("With newfound resolve, Jace stands ready for whatever comes next.")
if st.button("Restart the adventure"):
navigate_stage('introduction')

Additional game elements

st.expander("📚 Story Background").write("Here you can add more detailed background about the world of Arcana, the magic cards, and the characters involved in the story.")
