There are a number of GUI interfaces to NetHack on their wiki [1] [1] https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Graphical_user_interface
Unfortunately some of these aren't very good in some cases, for eg you can't click on the map in the X11 version under GNOME XWayland and the Qt interface just doesn't start on Debian.
If Dwarf Fortress can get a fantastic GUI, does that mean we can get one for NetHack too? I can dream.
I would check out Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup if you like roguelikes. It is similar to Nethack and has both tiles and an ASCII version.

It has a very different philosophy from NetHack tho, in that you generally have clear trade-offs between your choices (e.g. there isn't a "best" armor or weapon, you have limited skill upgrades and need to choose how to spend them etc..), compared to the "keep buffing up until you're god" you get in NetHack.
Both are a lot of fun and frustration.

why does the url include the port? I haven't seen that before. What does it mean about how the site works?
