chance

The bot must play all aspects of the game - map, fights, choices, shops etc. The same as a top level human player.

Seeds must be random with no hindsight and no quit and retry

Bot can choose any character or only play as one of them

Sample size must be at least fifty runs

This must be a normal run with no gameplay affecting mods, no exploits and the latest patch.

I think this bot already counts, if their claims are correct: https://youtu.be/GdhHDRVigCk?si=51P__jq6Vr8oIib2

@DanielZiegler wow great find! I haven't seen that bot before

@Ernie their win rate is near our requirement but they haven't shared code. The old "we'll release it after we clean it up" trick. Too bad.

JK. The guy uses an AI to understand existing STS playing code, but doesn't actually train the model any more.

predicts YES

In what sense should it be the same as a top level human player? Just in the sense that it's making all the decisions? That's also true of bottom level human players.

Any ascension level? Or A20?

Heart Kill Required?

predicts YES

@jskf basic game so a0 no heart

But it has to be "real", no picking easy seeds or manipulation of the rng etc

predicts YES

I suspect this wouldn't be very difficult to achieve on Watcher, maybe other characters too. I've been thinking about giving it a go, but I'd probably want to try Ironclad.

predicts YES

@jskf yeah! there are some partial starts online in the sts discord, and useful fast libraries. i.e. independent full game simulators so you don't have to hook into the actual java sts runtime to "run" your tests.

I think 10% is a pretty low bar!

I have thought a lot about how to incentivize this, maybe with bounties, prizes, etc. but nothing has really happened yet.

predicts YES

independent full game simulators

Oh lol. I should have checked if anyone did that before I started working on my own.

predicts YES

@jskf Not sure this will matter, but is A0 a requirement? Or is any ascension level allowed? A1 might be beneficial.

predicts YES

@jskf hmm in the description I said the basic game but I suppose a1 would be fine.

predicts YES

@SneakySly any thoughts?

bought Ṁ10 of NO

I believe it is quite possible but I doubt the criteria will be fulfilled.

predicts YES

@MaxPayne you think no one will bother building the bot or some other reason ?
