	Hunt the Wumpus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hunt the Wumpus was an important early computer game.
		Wumpus are also featured in the Rogue-like game Nethack as a ceiling-clinging monster, and as the elusive Mountain Wumpus in the classic M.U.L.E., being a nod from one very old game to another.
		A version of Hunt the Wumpus appeared in Google Talk August 2005, as a bot found by a clue in an easter egg.

	Hunt the Wumpus
		Hunt the Wumpus is a simple hide-and-seek computer game, featuring a mysterious monster (the Wumpus) that lurked deep inside a network of caverns.
		Hunt the Wumpus was the first game written for a microprocessor.
		The first bot on IRC was a multiplayer Hunt the Wumpus game, in which firing an arrow into a room with other players caused another player to be killed: "Foo is hit in the back with an arrow!" Unfortunately, the "Wumpus-o-Matic" player never made it off the drawing board.

		Hunt the Wumpus was created by {Ken Thompson} on an early version of {Unix}.
		The wumpus lived somewhere in a cave with the topology of an dodecahedron's edge/vertex graph (later versions supported other topologies, including an icosahedron and M"obius strip).
		The player started somewhere at random in the cave with five "crooked arrows"; these could be shot through up to three connected rooms, and would kill the wumpus on a hit (later versions introduced the wounded wumpus, which got very angry).

	Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Hunt the Wumpus is a simple computer game dating from c.1973.
		The object of the game is to kill the wumpus by navigating around the cave and shooting an arrow into the correct room.
		Earlier games of this "hide-and-seek" genre had simply used a cartesian grid as the play area, but Hunt the Wumpus used a topological map, based on the vertices of a dodecahedron.

	wumpus - basic behavior
		The goal of the robot in the wumpus game is to find the goal (gold, exit) as fast as possible without getting caught by the wumpus or falling in a pit.
		The general idea behind the implementation of this basic wumpus game algorithm is that the agent will assign positive rewards to his objective, and negative rewards to the places where we don't want him to go.
		Other experiments have been tried with another method: the robot used the information on breeze and smell tiles to guess where the possible pit or wumpus tiles were, which would result in less chance of dying.

		Then add the report for each obstacle, one at a time, the effect of pits and the wumpus on the hunter, and killing the wumpus with a grenade.
		Extra credit will be given for bat action (5 points) and wumpus reaction to near-by grenades (10 points), but only for programs submitted on time.

		In this game, you are forced to wander around a maze of caves, hunting the dreaded wumpus (or possibly more than one wumpi).
		Of course, you won't know which cave the wumpus is in (every cave is connected to three other caves), so you will have to guess when you throw your grenade.
		The cave must keep track of its name, what is contained in the cave (a wumpus, bats or a pit) and whether or not the cave has been visited.

		Once you found the Wumpus all you had to do was shoot it.
		To my vast surprise, all of the terminals were running Wumpus and scraps of paper on the floor with scrawled numbers and lines testified that much dedicated Wumpus-hunting was in progress.

		If you wander into the same cave as the Wumpus, you die.

		In this class we considered how to implement the historical interactive fiction gmae "Hunt the Wumpus" (see the assignment page for references).
		The cave system the game takes place in has twenty interconnected rooms, 2 pits, 2 bats and one wumpus.
		One could cogently argue that the cave system has twenty interconnected rooms, and the rooms contain bats, pits and a wumpus, so the presence of a bat, pit or wumpus should be an attribute of a cave and not of the cave system as a whole.)
