[net.games.rogue] What is Rogo-Matic?

debenedi@yale-com.UUCP (Robert DeBenedictis) (12/10/83)

I've heard mention on the net of a game called Rogo-matic.
What is it?  I assume (Tony Randall aside) that it plays Rogue.
What's its track record?  How does it work?  How come it can get
on the high score list and I can't?

Also, why has this group been so dead?  I mean I know Rogue isn't
the most self-actualizing game around BUT it can help to while away
the hours when your board and don't feel like watching tv.  (I mean,
it's better than DRUGS [:-)].)

Rog-O-Matic is an automatic rogue player, which can play 3.6, 5.2
and 5.3. More details are available from Michael Mauldin, at
ucbvax!Mauldin@CMU-CS-A, or allegra!cmucmg!mauldin (I'm not sure
whether the uucp path works). When the bugs are out of the curretn
version, it will be posted to net.sources.

Well... cheaper, and you can quit when you get bored, which was always 
my problem with drugs.
