Denote commands with a /

[dyc3]

This makes it so that commands must start with a /, and splits the input by spaces to get arguments for commands.

My reasoning for choosing / specifically is because users (especially gamers) will be more familiar with using / to denote commands (eg minecraft)

What happens if the input is the empty string? I believe you'll get an error.

It's not very convenient to type in / using say mobile phone

@Renha 🤔 This value should probably be something that nobody would ever start a sentence with, either purposefully or accidentally. I could see . being more convenient as a command escape (the Node.js REPL uses this, so I guess it's not too uncommon) for both PC and mobile phone users, so maybe that should be considered.

But personally I agree with @dyc3 that it should be /. I have terrible typing accuracy on mobile, and an "inconvenient" character would definitely prevent me from making mistakes 😆

Is the minimum Python version required for AIDungeon documented anywhere? f-strings require Python 3.6, which shouldn't conflict with the Colab runtime, but may conflict with users running AIDungeon locally.

I believe tensorflow 1.15 requires Python 3.5 or greater, so this might bump the required Python version up a minor version.

[dyc3]

IIRC, the install script specifically checks for python 3.6

[spenserblack]

Sorry, completely missed that. Thanks!

[dyc3]

@nickwalton Good catch, will fix.

@Renha We have mobile players? Even then, I'm pretty sure during a normal session commands wouldn't be used very often, so convenience shouldn't be a huge factor.

I'm good with this, after you add it to CHANGELOG.md :)

[dyc3]

@ben-bay done!
