User guide
Gameplay
NetHack is a single player dungeon exploration game that runs on a wide variety of computer systems, with a variety of graphical and text interfaces all using the same game engine.
Unlike many other Dungeons & Dragons-inspired games, the emphasis in NetHack is on discovering the detail of the dungeon and not simply killing everything in sight, in fact, killing everything in sight is a good way to die quickly.
Each game presents a different landscape. The random number generator provides an essentially unlimited number of variations of the dungeon and its denizens to be discovered by you in one of a number of characters: you can pick race, role and gender.
Commands
These are controls that apply only to NetHackDS:
- Press the arrow buttons to move up/down/left/right
- Hold L or R and press two directions at once to move diagonally.
- F5 - Switch between tiles and ASCII graphics.
- F6 - Switch the subpixel font used on the top screen. This will fix the blurry text if you are using a DS Lite.
- Alt+b - Assign commands to any of the buttons A/B/X/Y/Select/Start. L+[button], R+[button], and L+R+[button] can also have commands assigned.
