Here are some suggested modifications to Hack
(1) Change the killer bee symbol to '-' and use 'k' for Keystone Kops.
The Kops would appear whenever a shop gets ripped off. They should be
wimpy but whenever one gets killed another one appears at the shop that
got ripped off. Kops should use the orc massing algorithm with a couple
of additions. First, whenever they enter a room they should run around in
a circle in the middle of the room. Secondly, they should occaisionally
go rushing off to some far point of the dungeon. Third, whenever one Kop
finds you, he blows a whistle that summons all the Kops on the level and
awakens all the monsters.
Create an additional magic item 'FBI Badge'. When applied on a Kop, it makes
all the Kops ignore you. If it isn't legitimate, then it enrages all the
Kops (because you are trying to impersonate an officer of the law) and gives
them +3 on all subsequent attacks (to hit and damage).
(2) Add a command "Fetch" that allows you to tell the dog to fetch something.
(i.e., "Fetch %" when you are starving). Whether or not the dog does this
depends on how well you've been treating him and whether or not you
rewarded him after the last fetch.
A scroll of Training would make the dog always respond to a Fetch. It would
also modify his behavior so that he always tries to stay in one of the
three squares behind you (based on your last movement) and moves away from
you and sits quietly if you are waiting. Might also add a command "Fight"
like fetch (i.e., "Fight E" makes the dog seek out and fight a floating eye).
Monsters could be Trained only if they had first been Tamed. Fetch/Fight
would then apply to all the pets you have.
