Darwen.
Yes I'm in the same thoughts. And additional IMHO this is notheing else then expensive cheating. Whats the fun of it when machines are playing games instead of people. Sure a cool electronic will react quicker then any machine could do. But I cannot see any benefit in this.

Long ago I created a simple program able to solve mid level Sudokus by different mathematical rules I figured out about it.
This has made some fun to code it and to test it, but the only fun wa sto see it working and to see where there are some Sudokus done in a way you need a more complex logic that I had implemented with simple understandable rules.
But the only fun was to develop, design and test it. Playing Sodoku since that time is totally out of my interest. Its boring me now.
If I want to see action done where I dont need to interact I'm looking to a video or TV movies.


But there are technical restrictions too. If you do it for one special game it will not work for another one.
For checking memory you would need to know where the data in memory are stored and what they are meaning.

A really full skilled programmer would not be intersted in doing this soert of work IMHO and the costs would go up to the high end of thousends of $
Modern programs are done by teams and developed in years. Reversing that sort of code, studying it and then writing some code. Would anyone risk his job for this ?
So whats the idea behind all that ? I cannot see any sense in it to do it.
