Since HN seemed to like the previous game I posted https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43358016 I decided to make another one that again is A) simple B) multiplayer with leaderboard C) uses AI

Sorry all, game probably wont work by the time you try it because I am close to maxing out the $20 I put in OpenAI credits.

This weekend I’ll make V2 to address all the feedback. Also I’ll use these GPT 3 model instead of 4o so I don’t crank through credits so fast.

You ah, may want to take a peak at the leaderboards. The open-text-input-on-the-internet effect is doing its thing, so to say.

updated to filter out racism: https://github.com/BenLirio/word-battle-server/commit/316140...

Try gemini flash 2.0. It's extremely cheap. Just 0.4/Million output tokens on openrouter while still being a large, high quality model

I suggest you enforce an actual 1-word limit on submissions. You're facing some very uncreative prompt injection attempts.

Try the Groq free tier or Google free tier, both are pretty generous

At this point you probably want to use a local model instead, that makes your expense much more predictable.

Currently lots of racist language in top rankings

I scanned the DB for racist words and removed them all. I need to add moderation on the input still. But I can just scan and remove until then.

“Rick Sanchez” is currently winning with 1182 rank

Update “Entirely Unbeatable Aliens” winning with 1319 rank
