have you tried any of the puzzles of the main site? Those all ask you to interact with data from a webpage, and submit it back to the server. In the forum part for the puzzles, there are allready a few example programs in different programming languages. Try to understand them, and this shouldn't be a problem.

If someone could host a file (without malware) to megafile.com or something, with the solver, I'd be more than glad to try it.

Hello again everyone! I've studied some Python now but I've no idea on how to make it work with that game, or how to get the code outside of the IDE/GUI interface and project it into the game.
Any hints appreciated.

The game is on the web, which uses HTTP and the actual page itself is written in HTML. You can see that your moves are sent to the server using the GET method (you can see it in the HTML and in the URL bar after the ?). You'll probably want to look for something that can get pages from a url and then submit data again to let you makes your moves and get the next page.
Hint: urllib

Thanks again CodeX. Now I need to figure how to use "GET" in Python and how to use the information I 'GET' to make a program. xD

if you look at the URLs when you do things that use the GET method it's fairly apparent as to how it works.

How it works is clear, yes.
"The given values are sent to the PHP file by the GET/POST method"
But I've still no idea how to use that and turn it into a Python program.
Just now I got the actual import urllib to work xD

Using urllib maybe not a good idea -- instead, I just chose mechanize.

I automatized the process of moving, attacking and picking, but the algo I use is dumb.
Maybe just choosing directions randomly cannot solve the problem?

random directions is ok and works, even if you can program it easily.
I think the more crucial is to follow the stairs just if you have leveled up enough,
so you need a condition there.

Also... choosing the best weapon, and picking just better weapons than yours will make your life easier :)
Hope I helped.

in this challenge there isn't really any need for fancy checks like "only pick up the best weapon".

a simple userscript to level up and move around is enough.
