[edit] Availability
Hack 1.0.1 first appeared as a patch against the Hack 1.0 sources. Google Groups has archived this patch at [1]. Because one part of the original Hack 1.0 posting is not present at Google, the files in question must be reconstructed before applying the patch.
Ali Harlow[2] has a Hack 1.0.1 distribution at [3].
[edit] Significant changes
- The pickup (,), option (o) and self-teleport (control-T) commands first appear in this version.
- The HACKOPTIONS environment variable is recognized for the first time.
- The tag "(with amulet)" now appears in the record file entry when an adventurer has the Amulet of Yendor in his possession at the end of the game.
- Vault teleporters and the "ad aerarium" inscription appear for the first time.
- The lurker above is now "'" instead of "~".
[edit] The adventurer
The player may choose a Tourist, a Speleologist, a Fighter, a Knight, a Cave-man, or a Wizard. No option to play as female is available.
The adventurer has experience, hit points, armor class, and strength. He may advance to experience level 14.
The initial pet is a little dog.
[edit] Dungeon features
The dungeon in Hack 1.0.1 has no branches; there is one way up and one way down. The first 25 levels or so consist of rooms, and beyond that, the adventurer encounters mazes.
Special rooms are shops, treasure zoos, and vaults. If the player's login name is "david", David's Treasure Zoo appears much more frequently.
Traps are:
The Amulet of Yendor is found under a boulder in a maze level. The Wizard of Yendor does not appear in Hack 1.0.1.
[edit] Bestiary

[edit] Objects
No new objects are introduced in Hack 1.0.1.
[edit] Artifacts
Hack 1.0.1 has only one artifact, Orcrist. Any weapon may be named Orcrist and will do d10 extra points damage to orcs. There can even be more than one Orcrist.
In Hack 1.0.2, Orcrist would be limited to two handed swords.
[edit] Amulets
Only the Amulet of Yendor and the cheap plastic imitation exist in Hack 1.0.1.
[edit] Food
Food items in Hack 1.0.1 are:
- food ration
- tripe ration
- pancake
- dead lizard
- fortune cookie
- carrot
- tin
- orange
- apple
- pear
- melon
- banana
- candy bar
- egg
- clove of garlic
- corpse (called dead foo rather than foo corpse)
The tin did not contain the remains of monsters, but rather a randomly-chosen food such as peaches or, if the adventurer is lucky, spinach.
The dead lizard was a found object rather than a corpse; live lizards did not exist in Hack 1.0.1. It could reduce confusion, but had no effect on cockatrices.

Weapons in Hack 1.0.1 are:
- arrow
- sling bullet
- crossbow bolt
- dart
- rock
- boomerang
- mace

- crysknife
- spear
- bow
- sling
- crossbow
[edit] Tools
Tools in Hack 1.0.1 are:
The ice box is the only container. Then as now, it preserved corpses, and was generally too heavy (and too rare) to be useful for inventory management.

Armor items in Hack 1.0.1 are:
- helmet
- plate mail
- splint mail
- banded mail

- scroll of punishment
The scroll of damage weapon acts as the modern scroll of enchant weapon does when cursed. The scroll of genocide acts, in all cases, as the modern blessed scroll; but most symbols refer to only one monster anyway.
