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
- anonymous, Dec 9, 2006
- Not cheating. If you manage to find out what the exact numbers are (I don't know them), I don't see why you couldn't use them.
- Probably cheating.
- Probably cheating.
These are only my opinions, of course. - Potman (Guest), Dec 10, 2006
- Not cheating. It's "spoiled", but it's not cheating. Prayer timeout is random anyway, and it's really hard to know.
- Cheating. There's minor variation on hunger that it's not possible to know (such as from jumping, spellcasting, etc) and looking up these values is cheating.
- Not cheating. All it does is let you go faster.

I don't know how NetHack works so I can't do this myself (yeah, just like I could anyway), but wouldn't using of a debugger (to edit the game's memory at runtime) allow you to "easily" change your HP and do plenty of other stuff? Should this be mentioned? --212.149.216.233 17:34, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
