Interesting project. One of the goals I have when I design my areas is that
it should be *impossible* to get through them/get many exp there with a robot
player. This is mostly done by making many places where you have to think, not
just kill. Of course, it's interesting to make a robot, but I don't think MUDs
are to be a machine-vs-machine contest. Good luck with your work, though, and
see you on AustinMUD.
