Since I acquired my very own set of these imaginary 1.0.3 sources
I have been happily hacking them to pieces.
I got peeved that I couldn't tell where I was when I couldn't see
myself so now my cursor shows where I am, even invisible.
I died a few times, picking up corpses of cockatrices so I added
an option 'pickup'. If set, everything is as it was. If negated,
I have to explicitly pick things up, but moving onto a spot
fakes a look ( ':' command ) so that I know "everything" that is
there.
I am now planning to age inherent abilities, and add teleport
control and speed as the special effects of some appropriate
beasties.
Anyone interested?

Also I would LOVE the source. Either before or after the modifications. If you want blank disks, let me know.

Why not make all the monsters on a level visible ALL the time, or -2 leather armor totally invulnerable, or, better yet, why not just have the game say "I KNOW WHEN I'M BEATEN - YOU WIN" as soon as you start? :-) Seriously, though, "pickup" is a good idea (Don Kneller implemented it in PC-HACK), and one he did, which I think was even better, was "caution" which keeps you from killing your doggie by mistake. (Hit your dog, it asks if you really want to attack before attacking.) -- Mike Farren uucp: {dual, hplabs}!well!farren Fido: Sci-Fido, Fidonode 125/84, (415)655-0667 USnail: 390 Alcatraz Ave., Oakland, CA 94618
