In NetHack, the number zero (0) serves the following purposes:

  • 0 is used to represent the heavy iron ball that appears when being punished.
  • 0 and the other numeric keys 19 can be used to specify a numeric prefix for a command or in a menu.
  • A popular choice for the boulder option is to set it to 0, as it is considered a better graphic representation of boulders and far easier to see than the backtick, `.
  • Unimplemented code that handles warning for monsters with a level below four would represent such monsters with a 0, and describes them as causing you "worry".

History

In Hack 1.21, which is based on Jay Fenlason's Hack, the octopus uses the 0 glyph.

Variants

GruntHack

GruntHack implements the unusued code for warning of monsters that are level four and below described above, representing them with 0.

DynaHack

DynaHack uses the 0 glyph for boulders by default, rather than `.
