The script took, at most, 5 hours to write (inclduing the time for this poster to play the game, understand the game, reverse engineer the game, and implement a bot). What type of "ML solution" to the same problem would take less than 5 hours?

You are right about the time, but 1D Pac-Man might still be a good fun toy problem to hone your ML skills on.

For the record, it took me about 30 minutes of playing, reverse-engineering, and writing the bot. So, indeed, no need for an ML solution :)
