I can highly recommend the 3D client especially because it works almost everywhere, hope it will be updated for 5.0.0 soon

I don't know... I played Nethack 30 years ago a lot and always felt all the graphical updates were not worth it. There's something when you can easily see the whole map in one screen. And that scary pink h appears suddenly...
Edit: but to be fair, I will try this 3d version.
"pink" h? There's a way to enable colours?
Yes, you can turn it on by setting the color option in your nethackrc file with the line:
There is also a sophisticated option for customizing the colours of in-game menus using regular expressions. You can read about that in the section on menu colours in the official Guidebook [1]. Note that the official Guidebook is considered the game’s manual and is free of spoilers. Any information you find in there is intended for all players to know before they start playing (or to reference as they go along).

Giving me Ultima VII / VIII vibes.
As someone whose first introduction to dungeon crawler was Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (with tiles), thank you! I just tried the 3D version and it runs very well.
By 3D I had supposed you meant 1st person. This seems as good as the other 2D graphics mods, fine if it's your thing. I've always preferred the chars.
Thanks for sharing this. I think this might be what gets me to finally give Nethack a fair shake.
Anywhwere, with NodeJS? If I wanted a GUI, I'll use Vulture's Eye and that's it.
Is it possible to access wizard mode on the web version? I suppose I could just clone it and run locally and implement it if not, but would be nice if it's already there to know how to trigger it.
