About Paokinator

What is Paokinator?

Paokinator is a fun, web-based game that attempts to guess a character you are thinking of by asking a series of questions. It's an AI-powered game inspired by the original web sensation, Akinator. Our goal is to create a fun and engaging experience for everyone.

The Origin Story

The idea for Paokinator was conceived by Olisemeka Nmarkwe. The name "Paokinator" is a tribute to Dr. Kuo-Pao Yang, a respected professor at Southeastern Louisiana University. It's a creative blend of his name and the game "Akinator," reflecting the project's academic and playful roots.

Project Status & Commitment

Olisemeka is committed to keeping Paokinator running smoothly. He will continue to host the website, moderate content to ensure a positive gaming experience, and refine the game's algorithms to improve its accuracy.

While future versions of Paokinator are closed-source, Olisemeka is in the process of archiving and open-sourcing previous versions. This will allow anyone to use the older code for learning and experimentation. Thank you to all who have contributed in the past!
