Show HN: Swarm World – local LLM creatures living in a little tile world

This is a hobby project: a small tile world where every creature is a local language model. A creature only knows what its body senses, written out as text ("You see: a boulder 4 steps northwest; a campfire (burning) 5 steps east ... Others: Loam 2 steps southeast, carrying a stone knife"). It acts by stating an intention, and the world decides whether that works. There are 34 verbs, things like gather, craft, give, teach, dig and climb.I been watching these swarms happen and I wanted to see what swarms could do, and their emergent behaviors. I was interested in accomplishing tasks with them, I want to see if they can live!The recent minecraft and mindustry had my brain thinking, if the world was made for AI agents first, maybe they'd be able to do better?So this world was sorta made to be world-to-text and then text-to-world sorta. They see the whole world as a text adventure.That ya'll would be entertained too. I can mix models as well, lets other PC register a brain and agents.I will open source it, just need to make sure there fallbacks for my paid assets.I'll also post more details by in comments on the setup.
