Wonderful game! Just tried my first. Big improvement over hack! The
authors of hack and all the subsequent contributors are to be
congratulated.
I noticed a couple of things needing work, in my first few games,
today.
1. "/{" doesn't know what a fountain is.
2. The startup screen for picking a character class shows all
character classes in one part, but only the original six in the
other.
3. Stepping onto a location with multiple objects just starts picking
them up from the top, while "move-don't-pickup"ing onto the
location, then typing "," gets the "there are several objects
here..." mechanism started. I thought hack did both the same way;
I certainly liked it better with queries all the time.
Thanks again. If I can quit invoking demons, perhaps I'll get far
enough in my explorations to report other unfinished areas of the
dungeon.

Just add lines in the "data" file telling what these are, and it will work just fine. You should be able to figure out what to do from looking at the other lines in this file. - - - - - - - - - Steve Creps on the VAX 8650 running Ultrix 1.2 at Indiana University.

But in this case, a spellbook is a door -- unless its in the middle of a room; most of the time anyway. :-) -- Brian Campbell uucp: decvax!utzoo!dciem!nrcaer!cognos!brianc Cognos Incorporated mail: 3755 Riverside Drive, Ottawa, Ontario, K1G 3N3 (613) 738-1440 fido: sysop@163/8
