Well, it’s currently hard-coded to work for Bejeweled Blitz, however the technique can be used for other games/applications as well.

Great work . Does it work on other games or just for this?

Very cool. Do you have any stats on how many moves are possible, on average? If it’s only 1 most of the time, there’s little to do in terms of strategy. But even if it’s 2 on average, you can easily think ahead a few steps based on what you know.

Next step would be to think ahead based on what you *don’t* know, i.e. probability that the right gems will fall in from the top and make that awesome combo.

If you manage to separate the thinking from the looking and moving, I’d love to poke at that code for a bit

That would be very doable I guess, though I’m not sure wheter there really is a “best strategy”, there is a lot of randomness going on.

Very nice indeed. How about combining it with a machine learning algorithm to learn patterns that score well?

You can leave off the last argument of “ln -s”: it defaults to the original filename. So:

ln -s Dropbox/nix/.bashrc

And to set up your stuff on a new account, you can even do this:

ln -s Dropbox/nix/.* .

(It will complain about the magical entries . and .., but you can ignore that.)
