![[How to create a CLI for a Python script.svg]]
You can create a [[CLI]] for a [[Python]] script by including a wrapper that allows the user to interact with your app directly rather than sending, for example, HTTP requests to it.
Here's an example of what that might look like:
```python
from two_player_dnd import create_game
def run_interactive_game():
simulator, protagonist_name, storyteller_name, protagonist_description, storyteller_description, specified_quest = create_game()
print("\n🎲 Welcome to Two-Player D&D (CLI Mode)!")
print(f"(Dungeon Master): {simulator.agents[0].message_history[-1]}\n")
while True:
user_input = input(f"You ({protagonist_name}): ").strip()
if user_input.lower() in {"exit", "quit"}:
print("👋 Ending game. Goodbye!")
break
simulator.inject(protagonist_name, user_input)
name, message = simulator.step()
print(f"\n({name}): {message}\n")
if __name__ == "__main__":
run_interactive_game()
```
