Bummer. Just lost my first good game of the new hack. Extend the bug about not recieving a "you're having a hard time getting all that food down" line when eating corpses to include royal jelly. I suspect that apples, tins, and tripe are probably not covered by that choke warning, hopefully some coder will check it out.

Hack uses a point system for determining the food value of a particular item. The number of "food points" you have go up as you eat and down with time. The status messages at the right hand side of the status line are generated depending on the food point number. The "Choke" messages are generated whenever you attempt to eat something when the number of "food points" you have exceed a certain value *at the time you start eating*. Mike Stephenson

This warning appears when you are close to choking on your food. For all other type of edibles you can choke without warning (although you have to be satiated first -- you can't choke on any type of edible if you aren't satiated, so satiation is a warning in itself).

Well, the above isn't true. Some monsters are just so large that they give more food than you normally can manage to get down.

Well these creatures are enormous and *CAN'T* just be eaten, of cause you can eat a part of such a creature but not all. -- Kim Chr.
