X11 is a GUI of NetHack, mainly used on unix-type operating systems. If your copy of NetHack has that compiled in, you can enable it by setting OPTIONS=windowtype:X11 in your config file.
X11 can do both tile-graphics and ASCII.
If you do not have any X11 resources set for NetHack, all windows will be black text on white background, and this makes playing almost impossible, unless you turn off color.
You can define the X resources in a text file, for example ~/.Xdefaults, with one resource per line. You can then use xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults to make the resources active for your X session.
List of some of the X resources NetHack accepts:
| Resource string | Value | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| NetHack*font | font | Sets the font for all NetHack windows. Must be fixed-width font! |
| NetHack.tile_file | filename | What file contains the tiles used for the map? The file must reside in he NetHack playground. If NetHack was compiled with USE_XPM, then this can be a normal xpm-bitmap, otherwise it must be NetHack's custom format. |
| NetHack*slow | boolean | If True, the default, a popup for single character prompts such as y/n is not used. |
| NetHack*message_lines | number | The number of lines the message window will show without scrolling. |
| NetHack*message_line | boolean | If True, the message window has a line that separates old and new messages. |
| NetHack*autofocus | boolean | If True, force keyboard focus to attach to popup windows. |
| NetHack*background | color | Sets the background color of all NetHack windows |
| NetHack*foreground | color | Sets the foreground color of all NetHack windows |
| NetHack*map*background | color | Sets the background color of the map |
| NetHack*map*black | color | Sets the color 'black' in map to some other color |
| NetHack*map*red | color | Sets the color 'red' in map to some other color |
| NetHack*map*green | color | Sets the color 'green' in map to some other color |
| NetHack*map*brown | color | Sets the color 'brown' in map to some other color |
| NetHack*map*blue | color | Sets the color 'blue' in map to some other color |
| NetHack*map*magenta | color | Sets the color 'magenta' in map to some other color |
| NetHack*map*cyan | color | Sets the color 'cyan' in map to some other color |
| NetHack*map*gray | color | Sets the color 'gray' in map to some other color |
| NetHack*map*orange | color | Sets the color 'orange' in map to some other color |
| NetHack*map*bright_green | color | Sets the color 'bright_green' in map to some other color |
| NetHack*map*yellow | color | Sets the color 'yellow' in map to some other color |
| NetHack*map*bright_blue | color | Sets the color 'bright_blue' in map to some other color |
| NetHack*map*bright_magenta | color | Sets the color 'bright_magenta' in map to some other color |
| NetHack*map*bright_cyan | color | Sets the color 'bright_cyan' in map to some other color |
| NetHack*map*white | color | Sets the color 'white' in map to some other color |
- 'boolean' can be either True or False.
- 'color' can be defined either with a named color, or a hexadecimal RGB number, such as #00ff00.
- 'font' can be any font string the X11 server knows about. Use xlsfonts or xfontsel or some such program to see the fonts.
Some good values would be, for example
! Lines beginning with ! are comments and are ignored. NetHack*font: vga NetHack*background: black NetHack*foreground: grey NetHack*map*background: black NetHack*map*black: grey25 NetHack*map*red: red3 NetHack*map*green: green3 NetHack*map*brown: DarkOrange3 NetHack*map*blue: blue3 NetHack*map*magenta: magenta3 NetHack*map*cyan: cyan3 NetHack*map*gray: gray70 NetHack*map*orange: yellow NetHack*map*bright_green: green NetHack*map*yellow: yellow NetHack*map*bright_blue: blue NetHack*map*bright_magenta: magenta NetHack*map*bright_cyan: cyan NetHack*map*white: white
