A multiplayer UNO-inspired game where production incidents become chaos, comedy, and AI-powered table drama.
## Play The Incident DOD - Deploy or Draw turns a software outage into a strange little card-table emergency. Players race to resolve a live production crisis before the Director's panic meter explodes. The AI is not decoration here. It is load-bearing: - **Nemotron** is a mandatory rival that reads the current board, evaluates playable cards, chooses actions, and selects wild-card colors. - The **IT Director** reacts to every played card with short crisis-aware bilingual commentary. - **VoxCPM2** turns those Director reactions into voice, making the match feel like an absurd deploy-night war room. It is part UNO, part incident response simulator, part tiny corporate theater. ## Demo Links - **Live Space:** https://huggingface.co/spaces/build-small-hackathon/dod-uno - **Demo video:** https://youtu.be/QahSgSKtvNQ - **Social post X:** https://x.com/pelolisu/status/2065197829031604618?s=20 - **Social post Linkedin:** https://www.linkedin.com/posts/elismasilva_generativeai-devops-gamedev-share-7470967633346027520-OE7v/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAARdvBoBOi8NC3UXuKIGEUImbEK50Lgwp6E - **Field Notes:** https://huggingface.co/blog/elismasilva/dod-uno-en - **GitHub repository:** https://github.com/DEVAIEXP/doduno The GitHub repository above is the source-of-truth development repository. It contains the full implementation history, installation documentation, local-mode setup, and Codex-attributed commits. This Space repository is a deployment copy prepared for judges to play the finished app. ## Hackathon Track Submitted for **An Adventure in Thousand Token Wood**. The goal was to build something delightful that would not exist without AI: a toy-like multiplayer game where small models create the fun, tension, and personality of the table. ## Targeted Special Awards And Bonus Quests - **NVIDIA Nemotron Quest**: Nemotron Nano 4B is the required AI opponent. - **OpenBMB Awards**: VoxCPM2 provides the Director voice layer. - **Modal Awards**: the remote TTS path run on Modal for low-friction hosted audio. - **OpenAI Codex**: all development happened in the linked GitHub repository, which includes Codex-attributed commits. - **Tiny Titan**: the gameplay stack uses small models only, including Nemotron Nano 4B and VoxCPM2. - **Off-Brand**: the app uses custom Gradio HTML components for a game-like interface instead of a standard form UI. - **Off the Grid**: the project supports a fully local mode without remote APIs; this public Space uses hosted endpoints so judges can play it easily. - **Llama Champion**: the local LLM server runs GGUF inference through `llama-cpp-python`. - **Field Notes**: a write-up will document the build, model constraints, prompt design, local/remote fallback system, and what broke along the way. ## How It Works The game is built with: - **Gradio 6** custom `gr.HTML` components for the board and toast system. - **NVIDIA Nemotron Nano 4B** for bounded strategic game decisions. - **VoxCPM2 by OpenBMB** for bilingual Director voice generation. - **Modal** as an optional hosted TTS runtime. - **Hugging Face Spaces** for the public Gradio app. - **Hugging Face OAuth** for authenticated leaderboard identity. - **Hugging Face Datasets** or local files for leaderboard and endpoint routing. The public Space can use hosted LLM/TTS endpoints, while the GitHub version also supports local-only execution for users with suitable GPU hardware. ## Gameplay Summary - Match the active stack color or the active card icon/category. - Resolve the crisis before the Director panic meter reaches 100%. - Shout **Deploy** when you reach one card, or another player can accuse you. - Wild cards let the player, or Nemotron, choose the next active stack. - The Director reacts to card plays in English and Portuguese. - The leaderboard records authenticated Hugging Face users. ## Local Mode The full installation guide lives in the GitHub repository: https://github.com/DEVAIEXP/doduno The app can run locally with: - local Gradio game server - local `llama-cpp-python` LLM server - local NanoVLLM/VoxCPM2 TTS server - local leaderboard and inference mapper files For lightweight development, TTS can be disabled so Director lines appear as text only. ## Credits - Voice generation uses **VoxCPM2 by OpenBMB**. - Gameplay inference uses **NVIDIA Nemotron Nano 4B**. - Remote audio inference uses **Modal**. - Development was assisted by **OpenAI Codex with GPT-5.5**. Built with **Gradio** and **Hugging Face Spaces** for the Build Small Hackathon. ## License MIT License. See the linked GitHub repository for the full source and license.
