Although i did not create a puzzle solver myself yet, i think you don't really need any HTML / web experience for creating one. All you need is a way to perform a http get/post request.
Example:
for solving mortal coil (e.g. level 1) you simply visit the following url:
Code: Select all
http://www.hacker.org/coil/index.php?x=0&y=0&path=XXXXXX
Where your solver should determine what the 'XXXXXX' string should be.
I don't know what language / environment you are using, but most programming languages will have some sort of library for sending HTTP requests.
I would start with a test solver with the correct answer for level 1 hardcoded and test it untill the HTTP part works. If it does, start creating the real solver
