"Nice progress."
Thanks a lot!
"Does Whisper run locally or is it an API call to Open AI's servers?"
It runs locally, the focus of the game is that everything can be run locally, nothing from servers (I use the Whispercpp project in C++).
"If I find a speech to text program for C++, I'll let you know."
Perfect, thanks!
"I am going to be starting a project with some features in common with yours soon(tm)."
Best wishes!
"will there be mouse controls for the camera without having to hold down a button?"
Sorry, I don't quite understand. If you put the cursor in the text box the control goes to the UI. If you click on the screen the control goes to the game viewport and you can use the mouse to rotate the camera.
