Description

This is slash. Will you dare explore this dungeon, kill creepier monsters, and even finish the game ? At least, you're starting with a bonus: a servant creature to help you. This is a sequel to nethack: more classes, more objects, bigger dungeon, more difficult. - in order to use slash with X11 graphics, you will have to add ${PREFIX}/share/fonts/hack to your fontpath, see xset(1) and Xserver(1). - the tty with colors mode expects a black background and white foreground to run properly, e.g., xterm -fg white -bg black Flavors: no_x11 includes only the tty interface P.S. This is a very addictive game, with its whole wacky culture. And even a newsgroup dedicated to it (rec.games.roguelike.nethack). Don't say we didn't warn you !
