You could try using Tcl + expect to act as a player. 

	tcl is tool control language
	expect is a program written using the tcl library.

	basically expect sits between a user and a program and does
input/output conversion (interpretation) for either or both the user and
the target program(s).

	expect can run in a mode where its just looking at what the program
sends and repesponds accordingly or it can sit between two programs and do
the same thing. 

	One example is show as running a chess program twice and parsing the
moves back and forth.


	Cheers
