Project Description

The Interactive Storytelling Application uses AI to create stories based on what the user writes or chooses. Users can pick a genre, make characters, and shape the world of their story. The app can build different types of stories and let users save or export them.

Features Implemented

• Genre selection (Horror, Romance, Fantasy, SciFi)
• Save / export stories
• Length Selection (Short, Medium, Long)
• Complexity selection (Child friendly, Average, Difficult)
• Pace selection (Slow, Normal, Fast)
• Perspective selection (1st or 3rd)
• Added Prompts for Setting, Tone, Time Period
• Ability to ask for specific characters
• Fully functional GUI

Design Patterns Used

1. Strategy Pattern - Multiple story generation strategies.
   • Horror, Romance, Fantasy, SciFi
2. Factory Pattern - Centralizes the creation of StoryStrategy objects based on the user's selected genre (e.g., automatically creates a FantasyStrategy instance when 'Fantasy' is chosen).
3. Observer Pattern - Ui updates when story and/ or model changes
4. Singleton Pattern - Configuration manager or API rate limiter
