Slay the Spire has gotten pretty boring, we need a new roguelike for them to play. I also love gambling

I actually tried (and failed) to get the Neuro SDK working with Balatro while watching the game jam streams. Definitely a skill issue on my end though, the game seems pretty straightforward to mod for someone that actually knows what they're doing

I looked into doing this as well but I didn't go forward with it.

If anyone is interested in doing it, I came across a potential "shortcut" you could take. Someone has already made a mod that exposes a API for bots to play Balatro (balatrobot), though it might not work with the latest version of the game. Assuming you could get this mod working, I don't think it would be that big of a challenge to create a "bot" that acts as middleware between the mod and the Neuro Game API.

The biggest challenge I anticipated was representing the game state in a way that Neuro would understand. I'd guess that she innately knows the rules of poker, but it seems like it'd be hard to communicate the specific rules of Balatro. Maybe I'm underestimating her, though.

I don't think I'm going to pursue this, but I'm willing to help with Neuro Game API integration if anyone wants. Feel free to DM me or @ me in this server if you do.

@verbal mulch might be interested to follow up on this. Is the slay the spire mod source available?

Don't think it's a problem if neuro doesn't play the game well, part of the fun is having her figure it out right
