If you came here for the same thing I did, here's ChatGPT's explanation:

The ChatDev IDE seems to be an integrated development environment (IDE) designed to work with various language models, including ChatGPT, and is available as a Chrome extension. You can control a game character to explore a map and trigger different GPTs (Generative Pre-trained Transformers) by interacting with objects or NPCs (Non-Player Characters) within the game environment.

Editing GPTs in the ChatDev IDE involves a few steps:
1. Navigating the IDE: By entering your name and using arrow keys, you can move the character around the environment to interact with different GPTs.
2. Triggering GPTs: When your character approaches an object or NPC, the associated GPT is triggered. This could be something like checking the weather or summarizing content.
3. Editing GPTs: To edit a GPT, you would click on the "Edit GPTs" button to access the dual-screen editor. The left screen displays the structure of the GPT in YAML format. YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is designed to be easily readable by humans and is used for configuration files. It defines things like:
--> inputs: What you enter in the input box, and whether it should be triggered automatically.
--> nodes: The executable nodes that make up the GPT.
The right screen shows the content of the function or prompt you select from the left screen, which you can edit directly.
4. Using JavaScript: Within the IDE, you can also use JavaScript to enhance the functionality of a GPT. The scope is the browser window, giving you extensive permissions. The node variable represents the current node, and node.output is the output from that node.
5. Writing and Executing: You can write commands or scripts directly within the IDE, and then execute them to see the results.

Think of it as playing a game where each interaction with the environment or characters can run a small program. You can customize what these programs do by editing the commands (prompts) they run when triggered. To make changes, you would typically:
--> Find the GPT you want to edit by navigating the map.
--> Click on the GPT to open the editing interface.
--> Make changes to the YAML configuration or the JavaScript as needed. You might not need to write code directly; instead, you could modify existing examples.

Thank you!! love this extension, please provide some more in depth tutorials

[brandonthibodeaux]

I love this ❤ please make better tutorial maybe break down explaining

[mrfukaya]

Imagine one of NPCs using Devin AI...😱😱😱😱😱😱

[Dontao]

Anyone what to make a team to continue this?

[lesliewubbel]

I heard about this idea but am sorry could you get a real person to explain it I just find the voice really hard to listen too
