Thats why it would make sense to use a program like autohotkey to interface with the running program. So the ai could give commands and the dom3 executable would generate the .2h file. Generating legal moves would not be an issue.

- read gamestate from .trn (big task.. not sure)
- program autohotkey to give commands (still a big task.. but probably better than trying to fake .2h files)
- develop the ai (open ended task).

Yeah, not likely.
