ProtoHack v0.1.0 — Initial Public Release Pre-release
Pre-release

This is the initial public release of ProtoHack, a restored and preserved
early Hack variant attributed primarily to Jay Fenlason.

This release prioritizes:

  • Faithful preservation of the original source structure and behavior
  • Minimal modernization to ensure buildability on contemporary systems
  • Archival accuracy over feature completeness or gameplay balance

ProtoHack is shared for historical, educational, and research purposes.
It is not intended to be a polished or production-ready game.

This release represents a snapshot in an ongoing preservation effort.
Additional cleanup, documentation, and comparative analysis with later Hack
variants may follow in future releases.

Assets included with this release:

  • Linux x86_64 static binary (recommended)
  • Source archive corresponding to this release
  • SHA256 checksums provided for all artifacts
