I&amp;#x27;m thinking you&amp;#x27;d need to build a tree of all possible inputs and responses from each game, then try to find a path through the tree that completes each game.  It would interesting to see how you&amp;#x27;d probably have to put the player in one game into a &amp;#x27;safe&amp;#x27; room for a time so specific input can be given to another game that moves it forward (while just turning into noise&amp;#x2F;junk in the other game).  Would probably need some pretty sophisticated heuristics to help trim down the massive search space of possible commands.</text></comment>
