Writing a NetHack bot is hard, and not only because NetHack is a difficult game. Dealing with the intricacies of communicating with NetHack, understanding what the NetHack screen means, and translating all of that into data structures that are easy to manipulate is a major challenge, and one that TAEB (http://search.cpan.org/dist/TAEB/) is intended to handle. This talk will be a demonstration of using TAEB to write a simple but functional AI to play NetHack.
