Part 2/9:
The game’s core mechanic involves one player selecting a secret word or concept, and other players attempting to identify it through yes/no questions. Different variations exist, but for compatibility with AI, the accepted rules are straightforward:
The AI (or "the machine") secretly picks a word or concept.
The human player asks yes/no questions to narrow down possibilities.
The AI responds truthfully unless the question is invalid.
Invalid questions count against the number of guesses.
The goal is to guess the secret within a set number of questions, typically 20.
