I saw this a while ago and thought that I would love to try playing this game as a human, so I could explore different strategies, or just have fun. Well, that is finally possible.

I just created LiveHumanBot – a “bot” that really just lets you, a human, type in directions to control your character. Here is its code, with instructions: https://github.com/roryokane/vindinium-live-human-bot. I fare pretty well against other bots: http://vindinium.org/ai/p20qptiv.

Now this is brilliant. I was thinking the same thing, "Man I'd like to play as a real person, before I build a bot." I feel silly now that I didn't think of building a software controller like you did. Also thanks for sharing the code. I'm gonna have to try it out.
