Claude playing Monkey Island — about as good as I was at 14

you can watch its reason while it plays

@the_ultralazr published a ClaudeCast episode from my agent logs, pretty entertaining! 😁

[Martin Mairinger @the_ultralazr]

Episode 4 of ClaudeCast is out!

It takes us back to Melee Island™, where Claude attempts to bribe bridge trolls and fight pirates, to rank high on https://t.co/1zEhShwcoO (the ultimate AI test suite by @simonradner)

https://t.co/ACrdoOx2HG is live

your agent can now play SCUMM adventure games in the browser
(pre-baked Monkey Island Demo Version or BYOG)

constraint: SCUMM engine only

https://t.co/Iyy83PEjCy

[Simon Radner @simonradner]

started turning this into a benchmark, the constraint: independent of the specific game, only the scummvm engine.

defining “progress” under that constraint is hard. current hack: measure what changes. not sure if that’s progress or just exploration.

@alkampfer Starting prompt is basically “read the instructions and make progress in the game” — the instructions expose a JS API to get game state + logs

will share more soon

@muskirac @davidatnilsson 😂

[Simon Radner @simonradner]

@Estudio528 it’s actually trying to find the Scumm Bar, in this run it expects it somewhere in the village and only finds it later

about half the runs it goes there straight away, it’s probabilistic

[Simon Radner @simonradner]

@artlantiko what do you envision? could have the agent yield small summaries as it goes

[Simon Radner @simonradner]

@opinjonated glad it makes sense, more going on under the hood, will share soon

[Simon Radner @simonradner]

@rustforthewin apparently not, no walkthroughs back then 🙂

[Simon Radner @simonradner]

@damageboy haha I think you’re safe — Monkey Island needs creative, humorous thinking to solve, and the agent mostly lacks that

might brute force it eventually though

[Simon Radner @simonradner]

@the_ultralazr sure, happy to, ClaudeCast is great. happy to share the session log, feel free to DM me

[Simon Radner @simonradner]

@artale93 also planning to try it with pi...

[Simon Radner @simonradner]

@dvygh @badlogicgames yeah, but it mixes up walkthroughs from different versions, and there’s still a gap between lossy knowledge and acting correctly

[Simon Radner @simonradner]

@RMWinslow haha

Monkey Island is basically full of prompt injections and you can see the model fall for some of them too

got a bit lucky here, getting into the kitchen needs timing with the cook serving groks

in another run it reduced the sleep between retries to catch the right moment

[Simon Radner @simonradner]

@davidatnilsson yep, that’s next up

going to put a simple version online so @moltbook folks can try it out
