NetHack asks, "Do you want your possesions identified?"

DYWYPI? signals the end of yet another game of the popular RogueLike game called NetHack. More likely than not, the player came to a quick death and never came near the Amulet of Yendor.

Kernigh has campaigned for the Amulet at the nethack.alt.org public server but never achieved ascension. A part of the story so far is documented at the page of Kernigh at Wikihack; look there for the accounts of my best games.

Unix Reform Patch

Meanwhile, Kernigh is studying the creation of a Unix Reform Patch for NetHack. The situation that we have now (in 2007) is that the Unix code is the oldest operating-system-specific code in NetHack and that the support for BSD flavors of Unix is for versions before the 4.4BSD release of 1995, though FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD have long been variants of 4.4BSD. The Unix Reform Patch is not yet available, but my changes are available in a Subversion repository:

• svn co http://opensvn.csie.org/kernigh/trunk/nethack
• or browse the code with ViewCVS

Variants

Kernigh's Personal Wiki has pages about these variants of NetHack:

• NetHackBrass
• SlashEm
