SporkHack is a NetHack variant going down a different road to that which Slash'EM is. The latter adds a lot of toys but also quite a few additional ways to unbalance and even break the game. Spork tries to avoid this pitfall while enhancing gameplay.

  • Most intrinsics are no longer binary and can range from 0% to 100%.
  • Major alignment changes.
  • Some new items. (wand of wind, small sack)
  • Interface improvements.
  • Spell tweaking.

Be warned that SporkHack is undergoing rapid development and new versions can break save-file compatibility. This is almost guaranteed to not happen more often than every Sunday.
