# The games/nethack port

## nethack-3.4.3p5 – dungeon explorin', hackin', game. Piece of cake

## Description

    This is nethack.  Will you dare explore the dungeon, kill creepy monsters,
    and finish the game ?   At least, you're starting with a bonus: a puppy
    (or a kitten) to help you.

    If you find that game too easy, you may want to try slash instead.

    To use nethack with X11 graphics, you will also have to add
    ${PREFIX}/lib/X11/fonts/hack to your fontpath, see xset(1) and
    Xserver(1), also /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm or
    /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit for proper configuration.

    The tty version with colors uses ANSI colors, unless it finds a suitable
    termcap entry, for instance xterm-color.

    Flavors:
    no_x11
    	runs without X11.
    qt
    	qt2 interface

    P.S. This is a very addictive game, with its whole wacky culture. And even
       a newsgroup dedicated to it (rec.games.roguelike.nethack). Don't say we
       didn't warn you !
