Once the Unix games arrived, it wasn't long before coders were looking for ways to game the games. Enter Rog-O-Matic - the program designed to play Rogue. Dr Julian Onions has been tweaking his copy for decades!

    In the early nineties, in the computer society of my university in Sweden, we had a terminal on top of a VAX running Rog-O-Matic 24/7. It was oddly meditative watching it play.

    The number of YouTubers who have the exact same Lego sets as me on their shelf is frankly a little disconcerting. Like the Lego group can read all our minds to perfection.

    wow, didn't think I'd see a Rog-O-Matic youtube video in 2021
  • @Xanthanarium
    Big fan of the fact that, as far as I can tell, both the Rogue developers and the Rog-O-Matic developers kept countering each other purely out of spite

    I'd love to see a computerphile vid on Monte Carlo tree search!

    Michael Lesk told me that Dennis Ritchie devoted an entire PDP11 to just running Rog-O-Matic.

    5:15 "There was Rogue, there was Super Rogue, there was Ultra Rogue" then there's Hyper Rogue, but that one is a bit different.

    Just how many people have started coding from scripting or modding games. My start was writing scripts for ultima online. I didn't have an early enough start for terminal games. I'd imagine a younger generation had their start with a game like Skyrim.

    I wrote a rogue-like to teach myself Java. My kids had no interest in playing a game with ASCII graphics, so I added a rog-o-matic layer. Turned out to be a pretty good boss AI. Still no DARPA grant though.
  • @okawashingo2079
    I am interested in whether or not the insights obtained from the Rog-O-matic research could be interpreted to the reinforcement learning perspective :)

    iv made dozens of bots for MUDs over the decades. on one mud my character advanced to such a high level that it bugged out with overflows.
  • @leonstuij9540
    Hey could you make a video on ternary computers or computers that aren't binary. The wikipedia was quite shallow and it seems like a very interesting topic.
  • @muninmatt
    Not seeing it posted here, but Rogue led to a game called NetHack which has been actively developed, played, enjoyed, and cried over for several decades! If you are interested in console-based games, I cannot recommend it enough. It's the Dark Souls of console games.

    Ahhh Lua I remember it was used for making WoW mods back in the day (I imagine it still is). Also AwesomeWM uses that for customizing so I've dabbled with it a TINY bit. Ohh and LÖVE that cool little game engine uses lua too.
  • @valseedian
    I write these kind of bots for fun aswell. I have some minesweeper bot videos on my channel. love that low level, close to the metal programming.
