#I have a custom Cheat Engine tool that might allow Neuro to play an obscure puzzle platformer...

I hope this is the right place for this. A while back, I was working on a Cheat Engine-based TAS tool for an old PC/PS1 puzzle platformer from 2001 called Sheep Raider/Sheep Dog 'n' Wolf. It's a Looney Tunes game where you use ACME items to try to steal sheep from Sam Sheepdog, one sheep per level. Basically, each level is a puzzle; you move around in 3D, but most of the emphasis is on puzzle solving and trial and error rather than platforming, so I wonder if Neuro might be able to do it. There are no lives, no penalty for dying. You just try to figure out how to use the items available to you to get the sheep to the goal without getting caught.
It's not very well-known game, so I'm sure there are a ton of more popular games on the list, but I think it would be interesting on a technical level.
To make the TAS tool work, I wrote a Lua script that can control all of the game's inputs in real-time via Cheat Engine, as well as report back any relevant information from the game. I heard that Vedal uses Cheat Engine too, and thought "Hey, shoot, I have a tool that's probably 95% of the way to being fully Neuro-controllable."
I know it's unlikely, I just thought I'd throw it out there on the off-chance Neuro's skill set is ever at a point where Vedal thinks that would be a good/interesting challenge.

I have doubts on the " in real time" part. With Neuro you gotta thing like a turn based cmd text based game.
This looks like a platformer, I assume those parts will be done automatically?
But it also seem to require timing...

I think Minecraft is the only non-turn-based game Neuro can play and i think it requires a whole new AI

#

but I admire your dedication, and appreciate all sheep-themed games, well done neuroHypers
