Rog-O-Matic XIV

Rog-O-Matic plays the computer game Rogue, wherein the object is to explore and survive a complex and hostile environment. Rogue is an example of an exploration task.(Given an undirected planar graph, a starting node, and a visibility function which maps each node into a subset of nodes, exploration entails traversing edges so as to see all of the nodes. Minimizing the number of nodes visited is a subgoal.) Studying exploration requires two things: terrain to be explored, and an explorer to search it.

Continuing to patch source. It is currently usable for the repository versions of Rogue 3.6 and 5.2 and less so for 5.4 (needs a patch to the message parsing code). Debugging is difficult, but I am trying to isolate or fix one major bug every day or so.

Monday August 25th 2008 2:24pm - Rog-O-Matic XIV

After finally applying a series of patches to Rogue 5.2 from Peter Schauer I finally tried out his patches for Rog-o-matic XIV and enjoyed watching it play and become a total winner 6 times over as it played 10,000 games in about 4 hours. If nothing else it is a useful tool for testing rogue. So I figured I would make a home for it here on rogueforge. Peter is no longer working on the project, but I will keep a version working here. It is unlikely this will get ported to Windows any time soon as it would require building rogue against a terminal version of the curses library instead of a console version. A cygwin build might work.

I'll start uploading code soon.... maybe.
