Graphical user interface
As well as the standard ASCII interface, many official and unofficial graphical user interfaces are available. This page will be a visual showcase.
Official ports
Amiga
Windows
X11
Qt
Main article: Qt
All of the status values except turns elapsed flash green when they increase and red when they decrease - so since I just went up the stairs to Sokoban, level is red, and since I just picked up some gold and am recovering power, those are green.
MS-DOS
By using F3, F4, and F5, the user can switch between this view, another with narrowed tiles that makes the entire map visible, and one using IBMgraphics.
Mac Nethack, the Carbon port
Unofficial ports
Falcon's Eye
Vulture's Eye
glHack
noegnud
Noegnud is a semi-3D interface for both NetHack and SLASH'EM.
NetHack 3D
NetHack 3D features a first-person view and supports both English and Japanese. Mac OS only.
iNetHack
iNetHack is an iPhone port.[1]
Curses interface
The NetHack curses interface is an alternate character mode interface with many features not present in the traditional tty interface.
Nethack Android
Nethack Android is a port of Nethack and Slash'em to the Android OS. It runs as native code with an Android Java front-end. It has TTY and tileset interfaces and has some touchscreen support with context sensitive actions.
NeWT
NetHack With Tiles (aka NeWT) looks and behaves like the TTY version, while still allowing tiles.
Browser-based
webhack.webhook.org
webhack.webhook.org is a browser-based graphical front-end for NAO. It uses the dawnhack tileset, but only if the vt_tiledata option is enabled; else it will just show ascii graphics. At the moment, it does not work: it hangs indefinitely after hitting (c)onnect
UnNetHack
At un.nethack.nu/wstty, there is a browser-based front-end for playing UnNetHack. It is currently not working (please change this if this changes) because it is trying to connect directly to un.nethack.nu when it should connect to either us.un.nethack.nu or eu.un.nethack.nu. It offers the geoduck, unchozo32b, and dawnhack tilesets (for UnNetHack).
nethack.dank.ninja/wstty
At nethack.xd.cm/wstty is a webterminal that connects to nethack.dank.ninja. It allows tiles if vt_tiledata is enabled in a game that supports from that; aside from that, it will display ASCII graphics
BrowserHack
BrowserHack is a direct port of NetHack to internet browser, featuring linking tiles to the corresponding pages at NetHack Wiki (by shift-clicking). It is playable here. GitHub page
