 The main intent of this fork is to put more randomness, challenges, and fun into NetHack. It features more levels, several UI improvements designed to reduce tedium, and many gameplay-related changes.<ref>https://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.roguelike.nethack/msg/5ee5599d1e6b7378</ref> Since version 3.6.1, it also bundles a [[Tileset|graphical tiles UI]] for Windows with DawnHack tiles.
