This will make the +Qt client more "pretty" and usable. The Nethack Guidbook is included in +/usr/doc with this package, and is available at http://www.nethack.org. +A full list of options and settings can be found in the Guidebook. +In-game help can be accessed with the "?" key. + +Nethack will choose its default mode in the order Qt > X11 > TTY. You can +run the interface of your choice with nethack-tty, nethack-x11, or nethack-qt +depending on which interfaces you decided to build with FLAVOR. + +Requirements: + TTY interface: >=ncurses-5.0 + X11 interface: + >=ncurses-5.0 >=x11-6.9.0 >=x11-devel-6.9.0 + >=x11-fonts-6.9.0-* (uses 'times' and 'fixed' fonts by default) + Qt interface: All X11 requirements as well as >=qt-3.3.6 + |
