 Development of SporkHack was restarted in July 2017 by community members Tangles and K2, with the blessing of the original author. The latest version is now 0.7.0 - last build Fri Jul  8 01:20:52 2022 (git commit 4ed114f). The repository can be found at https://github.com/k21971/SporkHack - the revived development of SporkHack focuses on bugfixes and functionality enhancement; no changes affecting gameplay or the original author's intent have been made at this time. This version fixes a long-standing bug regarding stairs not being generated on certain levels (Minetown, the Oracle level, certain quest levels) as well as several other bugs that could crash the game.
