Talk:Cheating

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

• 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
