2014-01-09 Update of Nethack start scumming bot

Hello everybody,

This is an update release of Nethack start scumming bot. Compare to the previous release, it has some changes:

1) It has only three conditions, so you can get it fast: In:20, Magic Missile, and Ring of slow digestion. (You still can add more conditions, such as another ring)

2) It runs faster and stable. Every time your computer's random factor changes, it can run two to three times to scum. It means that, you will never miss any single random factor changing.

System requirement: 1) Linux or other Posix compatible system 2) Python 2.7 (Most Linux distributions install it by default) 3) pexpect (official website: http://pexpect.readthedocs.org/en/latest/) 4) Well installed Nethack(should be install properly in your /usr or /usr/local)

To use it, you do not need the previous version, but if you are still interested in it, or you want to know something about the Nethack's random element, please go to: http://wealthlibre.info/blog/nethack-and-its-start-scumming

Installation:

$ wget -O nh-expect-wiz.py http://wealthlibre.info/static/webup-2014-01-09-110945-nh-expect-wiz.py

Usage:

$ python nh-expect-wiz.py

And wait... Once you get the "expected wizard", you will see "You get an expected Wizard." at the bottom of your Unix console.
