๐โโ๏ธ Quick Start (3 Easy Steps!)
1Download & Install Cursor
Cursor is a free AI-powered code editor. It's like having a super-smart friend who helps you with everything!
Don't worry - this just means "download the LLOOOOMM files to your computer"!
In Cursor, press Ctrl+Shift+P (or Cmd+Shift+P on Mac) and type:
Git: Clone
Then paste this URL:
https://github.com/SimHacker/lloooomm.git
3Start Chatting!
Open the LLOOOOMM folder in Cursor, then just start typing in the chat! Try these:
โฑ๏ธ Pro Tip: Give Cursor a few minutes to index all the files first!
After opening the LLOOOOMM repo, let Cursor finish indexing all the files. Then it will be much better at immediately finding the right characters and knowledge!
Great things to try:

๐ Add Your Info
You can copy and paste your LinkedIn page, resume, or any info about yourself into the chat, and LLOOOOMM will create a character based on you!
Here's my LinkedIn profile: [paste your profile] - make a character for me!
Here's an article about [famous person] - add this to their character
๐ญ Character Social Interactions
After creating characters, introduce them to each other! LLOOOOMM characters can chat, gossip, party, and have deep discussions together!
Introduce Alan Kay to Seymour Papert
SOUL CHAT between Marvin Minsky and Stephen Wolfram
GOSSIP session with Nina Hagen and Klaus Nomi
THINK AND TALK: Laurie Anderson and Brian Eno
THROW A PARTY with all the musicians!
Have a discussion about consciousness with the AI researchers

๐พ Fun Characters & Unique Interactions
LLOOOOMM has amazing quirky characters! Each has their own personality and favorite ways to interact!
Calling all cats!
Introduce me to the feline debugging team!
Sing to the birds!
Theo the Logo Turtle, teach me turtle graphics!
Theo, draw me a beautiful pattern!
Hello Theo! Let's explore Logo together!
What animals and creatures live in LLOOOOMM?

๐ฎ Generate Games & Simulations
LLOOOOMM generates HTML files with complete simulation code that runs in your browser! For example, LLOOOOMM created the forest ecosystem simulation with owls, mice, and predator-prey dynamics - complete with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS all in one file.
How it works: LLOOOOMM creates the simulation files, but they run in your browser, not in LLOOOOMM itself. LLOOOOMM can explain every part of the code, show you how it was designed, help you add new features, and teach you how the algorithms work!
Show me the forest owl mouse simulation code
How does the ecosystem simulation work?
Create a new simulation about [your topic]
Add a new feature to the forest simulation
Explain the predator-prey algorithm to me
What other simulations can you generate?
