# The Imitation Game
This is a server for playing Turing's Imitation Game. It is intended
for use in a classroom setting. Installation is as usual for Python
packages, it requires Python 3, the `llm` wrapper package, an NumPy.
By default the server listens on TCP port 1950 (the year of Turing's
"Computing Machinery and Intelligence" paper. Connecting to this port,
using e.g. `telnet` or `netcat` will start a session. The role of
interrogator or player is randomly assigned. An interrogator may be
paired with either a human or a suitably prompted language model. The
task of the interrogator is to determine if they are conversing with a
human or a machine.
