interactive prompts

Interactive prompts are basically questions or starting points that you use to get a response or reaction from someone. They can be used in all sorts of situations, from computer programming to customer service! Here are a few examples:

    In computer programming: When you use a program like Python, you might see a prompt like ">>>" which shows that the program is waiting for you to type a command.
    On websites: Many websites use prompts to collect information from visitors, like when you log in to a site and it asks for your username and password.
    In creative writing: Prompts are a great way to get your creative juices flowing. You could start a story with a prompt like "It was a dark and stormy night..." and see where it takes you!

I can also use interactive prompts to chat with you! For example, I could ask you a question like "What's your favorite thing to do?" and then respond to your answer.

Advanced Interactive Prompts:

These prompts take interactivity to a new level, incorporating elements of surprise, world-building, and character development:

Mystery Box Prompt:

Imagine you receive a mysterious box with a single cryptic message on it. You open the box to find five seemingly unrelated items: a compass, a faded photograph of a mountain range, a worn leather glove, a single playing card (Queen of Spades), and a dusty book in an unknown language.

    What is the significance of each item?

World-Building Prompt:

You are tasked with creating a new world from scratch.  Here are three starting points to spark your imagination:
