What's more fun, playing Super Mario World, or creating a Java app that procedurally generates a Mario level, and then creating an AI controller which navigates through it?

Huh.

Now if they could program it into an emulator, and make it take the fastest path, it'd be a crazy tool for Tool-assisted runs too.

Awesome.

Now even the player has become automated...

I'm wondering how much further they can refine the concept, heh. They could make a Sonic game one, too!

That's one awesome AI.
