Holy shit,I'm gonna lose so much sleep because of this...

Happy to answer any questions! I think one of the most interesting elements here is the way that the grounding a game environment allows agents to ratchet their engineering progress and run more autonomously than you might be able to for normal engineering tasks.

The demo gif uses Claude Code but looking at the readme it seems like the idea is for it to be a good environment for various machine/reinforcement learning type tasks.

If that's the case what led to the inspiration to use Runescape and are there any notable non-LLM machine/reinforcement models you think might have an interesting time with this?

I am super curious about using and fine-tuning smaller vision-language-action style models! There are also some interesting RL projects out there focused only on PvP: https://github.com/Naton1/osrs-pvp-reinforcement-learning

I’ve never played RuneScape before but this was very cool, it wrote lots of scripts as it went and eventually finished a quest to gain the ability to make runes

This is called botting and is against the terms of service of the game. People with common sense generally consider it to be a dick move. You WILL be banned.

> rs-sdk runs against an enhanced web-based client (botclient) which connects to the LostCity 2004scape server emulator.

Its not connected to the main game. Its a private bot only server.

That being said, is copying the game outright legal?

> is copying the game outright legal

no it is not. a lot of runescape servers have recently been receiving UDRP disputes (to get domain + contact info) and subsequent legal communications from jagex

Botting runescape is how many of us got into programming. Long live botting. If you want to do it, do it on an account that doesnt effect the economy.

AutoRune and SCAR! Though, I never cared much for Delphi.

This is also how I learned programming, though mainly with Simba, the spiritual successor to SCAR: https://github.com/Villavu/Simba

for me it was autoHotKey, amazing programming language with a built in recorder!
mhog_hn•1h ago
Amazing. Would be cool to see agents end up trading at varrock bank like during the old days. Sort of a facebook/moltbook equivalent - wonder how genuine it would feel
pokpokpok•58m ago
Please try running some bots and join the discord! Totally agree that we should add communication channels for the bots, potentially a bbs or global chat?
branon•47m ago
Glad to see more projects building on top of Lost City. This looks super fun and I can't wait to try it out. Writing RuneScape bots was how I first learned programming, and I think it's one of the most interesting ways to interact with the game.

So this is why RAM prices are increasing...

I've always imagined my last few days on earth as being in a nursing home playing Runescape Classic (2001-2003 runescape) with just me and a bunch of bots, recreating the glory days.
