Any hints on the basic combat mechanics of the dungeon/cavern game?
Mostly want to know, how does weapon lvl and bonus determine overall strength.
Is a lvl 1 weapon better than lvl 0 +4?
Just curious

Hrm, another question.
I'm having difficulty writing a program to solve the cavern challenge. Keeps telling me I need to be logged in.
Does that challenge support the username=XXX&password=XXX for GET or POST for the maze part?

part of the challenge is deducing the underlying rules of the game by watching the action. so you'll need to experiment and see =)
the pages do support the username=XXX syntax, so you can automate easily.
happy hunting,

Nope, it was 9pm and I was bored since most my friends were working for some reason so I tried the first one with only 3 levels and I was like meh this isn't bad. So I tried other and waste like 2 hours of m time.

Finally beat it. My first bot died on lvl 63 ><. Its not too bad, but definitely probably want to automate it. Unless you don't mind the mindless clicking

How does the username, password syntax work? I tried to type:
http://www.hacker.org/challenge/misc/d/ ... ssword=xxx
but the answer is just "not logged in". Can you help me?
Edit: Of course I sent my username and my password instead of xxx ;P

It will work if you write "name=xxx" instead of "username=xxx".
