Watching complete strangers nethack is weird, because it's a completely noninteractive medium.
You can send them messages via the mail daemon :)
And there's also a #nethack IRC channel where sometimes players and watchers will comment on ongoing NAO games.
I made a web browser playable Rogue-like about 7 years ago. It was the first incarnation of my Dead By Zombie game. Python and a completely homegrown engine. I later decided the hack novelty of it didn't outweigh the negatives of the inferior latency and increased complexity. So I dropped support for the web UI and rewrote it to have a conventional curses-based UI for play in a terminal. No regrets.
Nethack is how I committed vim keybindings to muscle memory. This is really cool (though a few things, like Ctrl-D to kick and extended commands seem to either not work or be clumsy).
#untrap would be useful, too.
This is fucking nuts! All of the game code is Nethack's original C: https://github.com/coolwanglu/BrowserHack/tree/master/src Porting is mainly accomplished by defining a windowing system for 'web' (mostly in C), right next to the definitions for 'X11', 'Qt', etc: https://github.com/coolwanglu/BrowserHack/tree/master/win And compiling through LLVM via Emscripten, resulting in a browser-runnable JS target: https://git…

That runs the application in a little interpreter designed for Emscripten output; the interpeter is capable of pausing and resuming code, so synchronous code isn't a problem.

For people new to NetHack: You can play NetHack just by running telnet nethack.alt.org And you can save games and resume them from another computer, as well as watch other people play!
No way, I only play wizard and tourist! Please let us roll our character as standard nethack :)
Very impress beside that, no need to check anymore if my last system has it installed before going on vacation ^^
I'm extremely impressed, although as someone who learned NetHack without tilesets, it's hard for me to imagine wanting to play a multihour game with tilesets. (Maybe a funny hack would be to create an ASCII tileset that recreates the appearance of a character-mode display?) And it's very hard for me to know at a glance what monsters are, but that's presumably just a matter of experience (I immediately know what parti…
