a bot to play Puzzle Quest - Challenge of the Warlords for the Nintendo DS
Any emulator should theoretically work,but I'm using DeSmuMe on Windows 11. The current implementation for clicking requires this running on Windows.
Needed Improvements:
- Move Optimization:
- Better skull move optimization, determine if the future game grid results in a series of skulls and prioritize that one. Currently it just picks a skull to be moved over everything else, but this might just mean its lining up other gems by moving a skull
- Detection of wild gems and logic to detect a series with a wild gem
- Determine why sometimes it thinks no moves are available
- Game State:
- Detect if the game board has settled. Currently just waiting arbitrarily some time between moves.
- Use of spells
