This screenshots in this tutorial use the '''tty''' (''terminal'') port of NetHack. This port uses only ASCII characters and runs on a terminal, such as a Unix console (through the [[Commons:en:curses (programming library)|curses library]]), DOS console or a telnet client. By learning the "tty" port, one can play on public telnet servers (like [http://alt.org/nethack nethack.alt.org]). One will also start recognising the ASCII letters of each monster. The ASCII letters are useful for reading [http://www.comixpedia.org/index.php/Dudley's_Dungeon Dudley's dungeon webcomic]; there is also one item in the game that will ask for them. | This screenshots in this tutorial use the '''tty''' (''terminal'') port of NetHack.
