# ootAI
An experiment to create an AI that plays OoT Randomizers automatically, getting
as many checks as possible in an efficient manner.
## how does it work
This runs using the Lua Core fork of the Dolphin Emulator project. As of right
now it only works on ROMs generated by the OoT Randomizer.
Eventually I'll have an explanation here on how it does pathfinding and memory
reading, but I don't know how to do enough of that yet.
## how to build
1. Install [AmuletML](https://amulet.works/).
2. Run `amc compile main.ml -o main.lua --lib /path/to/amulet/lib`
3. Copy everything between the first `do` and the last `end` from `main.lua`
4. Create a new script in the Dolphin Lua Core Scripts directory:
```lua
function onScriptStart() end
function onScriptCancel() end
function onScriptUpdate()
-- paste what you copied here
end
function onStateLoaded() end
function onStateSaved() end
```
This script should now run properly when you start it from the Dolphin scripts
menu.
