Package: nethack-common (3.4.3-10.1)

Common files for Nethack dungeon crawl game

The various graphical front-ends for Nethack all share a large number of files in common. This package contains the graphics, dungeon levels, and utilities common to all Nethack front-ends.

Please install one of the following Nethack front-ends if you actually wish to play the game. Each of them includes the original non-graphical version, and they can all be installed at the same time. 

 * nethack-console (no graphics, just plain Nethack)
 * nethack-x11 (original X11/Athena-based graphical version)
 * nethack-qt (newer Qt-based graphical version)
 * nethack-gnome (experimental Gnome-based graphical version)
 * nethack-lisp (for playing Nethack in Emacs; requires nethack-el)

There is a nethack-spoilers package available, if you're really desperate for help.

A few utilities -- recover, for retrieving your auto-save files in case of a power failure, and dgn_comp and lev_comp, two utilities for making your own Nethack levels and dungeons, have been included in /usr/lib/games/nethack. 'recover' will be run every time your system boots, if there are any auto-save files available.
