NetHack is a very old terminal-based game. It is best played today on public servers, such as nethack.alt.org.

Some users prefer to play with graphical tiles, rather than the basic character display, but this is not possible on remote servers. Also, NetHack players can benefit from some added functionality, like that provided by Interhack.

This project is primarily an exercise in Java SWT, and providing a graphical tiles interface over a telnet/SSH connection. Eventually, it will include Interhack-like enhancements for the player.

Some VT code is taken from the Kava Telnet Application.

Another project, TelnetTiles aimed to do the same thing. It appears to be defunct as of 2005.
