I think that pet ranged attacks would work well with SLASH'EM.

But first, a volunteer would have to port the relevant code from the
Intelligent Pet Patch [259] or from GruntHack [261] to a CVS checkout of
slashem, then email the cvs diff to slashem-devel. Then other volunteers
could play with that slashem pet patch.

 [261] http://bilious.homelinux.org/?261

The slashem pet patch would then join the slashem biodiversity patch (from
slashem-devel October 2007) and the SLASHEM_PHLEGETHON branch in CVS. We
should play-test and develop all this code until we are ready to merge it
into the CVS main trunk. (The trunk contains the latest bug fixes and
user-interface changes.) Eventually, a development release from trunk would
include the slashem pet patch.

I want to be play-testing, but first I need to improve my general slashem
skills. In my most recent game, a goblin killed me on dungeon level 1. This
may take some time...
