...to create a program to do screen scraping to automatically fight munmars (1 hit kills) for your character? Have it watch your hp and stop and notify you if you get below 50.

I need to test this out, but I think that on average I get more than one Dev before I get *hit* by a Munmar, so it might be a better tactic to simply die, put all my Devs except one in the bank, go spend that one Dev on healing, then go back to killing them........

Yes, but that also needs to be weighed against the fact that if I spend a bit of gold I'll be *getting* more gold in the process. Because if I heal only by 1 gold at a time, and in those intervals I'm getting more than one gold, I'm effectively using the time I would normally be inactive to get more gold.
