[net.games] Hack info

carlton@masscomp.UUCP (Carlton Hommel) (01/02/85)

The following is a list of monsters for hack.  It is the result of intensive
study and long hours using a tags file.  (You don't think I have fought those
high level monsters yet, did you?)

The hack source code is an excellent example of a "slash and burn" coding
style.  With mont games, looking at the source code will tell you quickly
how to cheat.  Not so this gobbler.  This sucker has linked lists, arrays,
and more structure pointers pointing to structures that point to other
structures than the UN*X kernel.  I _still_ haven't figured out how to
train that damned dog, or even what good it does!  At least I know which
rumors are true.  But I won't tell you....

Oh yes, someone was asking about the wand of wishing.  Well, just tell it
what you want, like
    green potions called whisky
    scrolls labeled "QWERTY"
    egg
    dead zruties
    fortune cookies
    very heavy iron ball named hoei
    wand of wishing
    elven cloak
and you will recieve.  Two caveats:  The wand will not work very well if you
are unlucky  (what's luck?  I don't know, except you don't got none if you
are being punished with a ball&chain), and it will give you _an_ Amulet of
Yendor if you ask for it.  Me, I generally ask for a ring of teleport control,
a wand of digging, or a wand of death.

The columns are as follows:

mname:		Monster's name.
mlet:		Monster's letter.
mlev:		Monster's level.
mmove:		Non-Spelunkers have a mmove of 12.
ac:		Monster's armor class.  Gee, demons are tough!
damage:		Monster's basic attack on you.  Note that quasits, jaguars,
		dragons, etc will have extra attacks.
weight:		how heavy the cadaver is.  Food value is 10*weight, and will
		take weight/10 turns to eat.
poi:		whether the food is poisoned.
lge:		Whether monster is large.  Determines weapon damage.
intrinsic:	What permanent effect eating it will have on you.
