Not a remake. Not a reboot. This is software preservation with a blowtorch and a scalpel . The goal: make the original code compile, run, and dungeon-crawl exactly as it did when floppies were king. Think resto-mod: the soul stays vintage, the internals get a precision rebuild. Philosophy : \"Fix what breaks, preserve what works\" - authentic 1984 gameplay with modern build system and safety improvements. Read the Complete History of Hack From Rogue (1980) to NetHack's rise, through decades of digital decay, to restoHack's 2025 resurrection --- Screenshots Luck and death, in that order. --- Features Modern Build System – CMake replaces Makefiles. Clean builds on Linux, FreeBSD, and other Unix systems. Authentic Systems – Over a dozen original systems restored from source, untouched in design. Complete K\\&R Modernization – Entire codebase converted to ANSI C (\\ 250 functions updated). Unix/Linux Fixes – No more hardcoded BSD paths or FS quirks. Cross-Platform Verified – Works on Linux (glibc/musl) & FreeBSD; CI-tested. Tested on: Arch, Alpine, FreeBSD 14.3, WSL, and aarch64. macOS support verified via runner. Arch users can install via the AUR. --- Recognition: RestoHack was recognized by GitHub as a For the Love of Code category winner (2025).
