Hack 1.0.3. was my first and favorite version of Hack, I played Don Kneller's port of it for DOS in the mid to late '80s as a young man. I found the game very relaxing but when I tried to show it to my nephew a few years ago, I realized it wasn't accessible enough to modern players, so I grabbed the source code and updated it with some visuals and support for mouse/touch/joypad user inputs as well as simplifying the commands with a few context based buttons in the inventory, etc. Take a peek at the videos and let me know what the roguelike community thinks.

On Hack 1.0.3 from bsdgames, the first thing I would implement
would be avoiding to hit your pet.
