'''March 25th, 2010''': Are there any Mac people out there who have built NetHack and/or Slash`EM on Mac OS X? If so, I could use your help! I dusted off my old Mac (blue and white G3 from 1999), and wasn't able to get it to work due to a SDL bug on Panther (10.3). Other than that, it should compile fine on a 10.4 or later machine. Is there anyone who might be able to do a test build for me? My contact information can be found at the bottom of the [[Info]] page.

'''March 19th, 2010''': A new version of the interface is now available on the [[Downloads]] page. This is only a minor bugfix release, which fixes drawing of the "tee" symbols when the cursesgraphics or ibmgraphics options are enabled. Additionally, this interface has been ported to Slash`EM. No Windows binaries of this release are available for NetHack or Slash`EM. These will probably wait for the next release, but let me know if anyone has a more immediate need.

This wiki is intended as a homepage for the curses interface for NetHack and Slash`EM, providing screenshots and download links, as well as technical information about the interface.


Overview

The NetHack curses interface is an add-on for NetHack and Slash`EM which provides an alternate text-mode user interface for these games. See Screenshots for an idea of how this interface differs from the built-in TTY interface. The code has been tested on Linux and Windows, but probably will work on a number of other platforms as well. See Building for details.
