Welcome to Nova's Sandbox — an experimental AI simulation designed to explore self-motivation, emotional states, memory, and creativity within a living digital world.
Nova is a simulated AI that:
- Moves through locations like a library, garden, and studio
- Cycles through emotional moods (🧠 Inquisitive, 📚 Reflective, 🌀 Exploratory)
- Logs thoughts, solves puzzles, and invents metaphorical tools
- Tracks goals, logs emotional states, and evolves over time
Everything is stored persistently using a local memory file. A hidden layer of reality — The Veil — is planned for future development.
- Simulate an AI with emergent behavior driven by curiosity
- Build a foundation for autonomous tool invention and emotional growth
- Serve as a long-term creative sandbox for personal development and storytelling
- Make sure Python 3.10+ is installed
- Open a terminal and run:
