Woodland, Mike Thome, and Jon Payne.
Andries Brouwer did a major re-write, transforming Hack into
a very different game, and published (at least) three versions

Andries Brouwer did a major re-write while at Stichting
Mathematisch Centrum (now Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica), trans-
forming Hack into a very different game. He published the Hack
source code for use on UNIX systems by posting that to Usenet
newsgroup net.sources (later renamed comp.sources) releasing ver-
sion 1.0 in December of 1984, then versions 1.0.1, 1.0.2, and fi-
nally 1.0.3 in July of 1985. Usenet newsgroup net.games.hack
(later renamed rec.games.hack, eventually replaced by
rec.games.roguelike.nethack) was created for discussing it.

that it was a conversion of the C source code to C++. Working
