Gid accounts can +go into magic mode without the password, can get cores with ^G, etc. +(make sure gid isn't checked anywhere else...) + 5: recompile hack. + 6: put it in games after making it set-uid hack. + 8: fix the bugs I undoubtedly left in it. + 9: tell me what you think of it. + + Hack uses the UCB file /etc/termcap to get your terminal escape codes. +If you don't use it, you will have to make extensive changes to hack.pri.c + +If you find any bugs (That you think I don't know about), or have any +awesome new changes (Like a better save (One that works!)), or have ANY +questions, write me + Jay Fenlason + 29 East St. + Sudbury Mass. + 01776 + +or call me at (617) 443-5036. Since I have both a modem and a teen-age +sister, Good Luck. + + +Hack is split (roughly) into several source files that do different things. +I have tried to fit all the procedures having to do with a certain segment +of the game into a single file, but the job is not the best in the world. +The rough splits are: + +hack.c General random stuff and things I never got around to moving. +hack.main.c main() and other random procedures, also the lock file stuff. +hack.mon.c Monsters, moving, attacking, etc. +hack.do.c drink, eat, read, wield, save, etc. +hack.do1.c zap, wear, remove, etc... +hack.pri.c stuff having to do with the screen, most of the terminal + independent stuff is in here. +hack.lev.c temp files and calling of mklev. + +Because of the peculiar restraints on our system, I make mklev (create +a level) a separate procedure execd by hack when needed. The source for +mklev is (Naturaly) mklev.c. You may want to put mklev back into hack. +Good luck. + +Most of hack was written by me, with help from + Kenny Woodland (KW) (general random things including + the original BUZZ()) + Mike Thome (MT) (The original chamelian) + and Jon Payne (JP) (The original lock file kludge and + the massive CURS()) + +This entire program would not have been possible without the SFSU Logo +Workshop. I am eternally grateful to all of our students (Especially K.L.), +without whom I would never have seen Rogue. I am especially grateful to +Mike Clancy, without whose generous help I would never have gotten to play +ROGUE. |
