Graphical user interfaces
As well as the standard ASCII interface, many official and unofficial graphical user interfaces are available. The best known are Falcon's Eye and Vulture's Eye. Vulture's (includes Vulture's Eye) is actually a continuation of the Falcon's Eye project, but some players still prefer Falcon's Eye.
Title
The title is properly spelled "NetHack", with two capital letters. "nethack" is also correct when used to refer to the name of the game binary. "Nethack" is a common misspelling, even having been used by members of the DevTeam in comments in the source code. See also Spelling.
