Discovered the Wizard Bones cheat myself a couple of years ago, but have never heard anyone else use it. I might even be a sort of pioneer of Nethack cheating. Nah, probably not. Wrote the cheat here, anyway. - Potman (Guest), Dec 9, 2006


How should the following behaviors be classified?

  • manually keeping track of things the player doesn't usually know. That is, nutrition and prayer timeouts, etc.
  • doing the same as above, but using a hex editor or other tool to view the exact value in the memory.
  • using keyboard macros to automate death farming, pudding farming, etc

  • Probably cheating.
