I was interested in doing a homage to the old Family Feud TAS as my first TAS, and this seemed like a good candidate as it has the same glitch allowing ridiculous things to be accepted as the correct answer.
It looks like there has already been some interest in TASing this previously, though nothing came of it.
Anyway, I've made a little WIP that answers two questions. As someone who's never really done this before, I thought it wise to seek some input before continuing further.

Currently it just enters the first round as quickly as possible without attempting any luck manipulation. I assume it's possible to manipulate luck by delaying the start of the first round by a few frames. Depending on how many frames I need to wait to get my desired result, it may give me time to enter a reasonable name instead of just "A".
If luck manipulation were attempted, I can think of two possible use cases:
A) simply try to get a board that maximizes my ability to create funny answers to the questions that the glitched text processor will accept as correct.
B) actually add a goal of "aims for maximum possible score", which would be accomplished by manipulating the position of the Daily Double to appear on a square that would otherwise be of lowest value, and then hitting it at the very end of the round.
EDIT: I was mistaken about the need for luck manipulation to reach maximum score. The score is capped at 99999, which is easily attainable regardless of where the daily double happens to be.
