The proposal fell on deaf >ears. There is an Ada Hack-like game. One of our new programmers undertook to write such a thing to get used to programming in Ada. (This was about 1988 or so.) It got reasonably far, it definitely was playable. Indeed, we wasted quite a bit of time play-testing it! I had to stop it eventually, because we were paying him to work on compilers and tools, not Hack! I've probably got a copy of the source on some floppy (or ancient computer) around here. The main problem would be that I believe we let him keep the copyright, so I don't know that I can distribute it. Randy.
