New Episode of Nethack video series, Grumphack!
Dan
I can't reply to the old thread anymore, since it's been so long since
I last posted a Nethack video. Six months later, Episode 12 of the
Grumphack video series is out, sporadic indeed! Check it:

This one features my first successful journey through Sokoban,
although how you measure my success may vary. It also wraps up the 52
Lives Report project started last January.
Enjoy!

I liked it. Minor nitpick: you can't get below Luck -10 (-11 on Friday
13). If used sparingly, squeezing past boulders if stuck still is a
good idea. Luck is regenerating resource, especially right before
turns divisible by 600.

Um, artistic license? :)
On my next trip through Sokoban, I managed to keep the number of
boulders-squeezed-by to three or four. When I recorded this game I
had only partially read the wiki for Sokoban, in a foolish attempt to
keep myself partially unspoiled. I read the parts on how to fix a
stuck boulder, but completley skipped over the section on Luck. This
"partial read" method is also the reason I didn't realized I was at
Mine's End (not that I would have made it out alive anyway).

The range for "natural" luck, where you aren't carrying
any luck conferring items, is -10 to +10. With one or more
such items, that range becomes -13 to +13. [It's actually
either -13 to +7 or -7 to +13 at any given time, depending
upon the number of cursed luck items being carried versus
the number of non-cursed ones.]
The minimum and maximum values are never affected by
date or phase of moon. Date and moon affect whether the
equilibrium state for timed-out luck is -1 or +1 instead of
the normal 0, but it doesn't change the range. The source
code has a couple of comments (and a bogus prayer case)
suggesting otherwise, but they're wrong.

This episode is actually answers the question I posed in this thread:
