Graphical user interface

As well as the standard ASCII interface, many official and unofficial graphical user interfaces are available for NetHack. This page will be a visual showcase.

A user has suggested improving this page or section as follows:

"There are many, many more window ports to document, with appropriate screenshots - some are additionally outdated."

Official ports

Amiga

NetHack 3.4.3's Amiga port, showing the hero on the first level. Running on AmigaOS 3.0 under emulation.

Atari ST

NetHack 3.4.3's Atari ST port. Running on Hatari with EmuTOS.

Curses

The NetHack curses interface is an alternate character mode interface with many features not present in the traditional tty interface.

Windows

NetHack 3.4.3's Win32 port, showing the hero in Minetown. Running on Windows XP.

X11

Qt

Main article: Qt

NetHack 3.4.3's Qt port, showing a monk in Sokoban. Running on NetBSD 3.0 using blackbox.

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

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
