[] I recall that when I saw the sources of hack version 1.0.1 (about six months ago), I noticed that there were many `#ifdef QUEST's, and it seemed that you could compile hack with `-DQUEST' and get a different game. I tried that and got compilation(!) errors. Tried to make some cludges in order to allow compilation, but it failed to execute. Does anybody know anything about the game `quest'? Yossi Friedman

Does >anybody know anything about the game `quest'? when net.games.hack was first created, this was one of the earliest questions. quest requires additional files that were never distributed with any version of hack. the only difference between quest and hack is that quest has irregularly shaped rooms.

This is not the case; defining QUEST basically cuts away a bit of the sources, and there are other modules, specific to Quest, that should replace these. I have not yet distributed these Quest-specific modules.
