Qt is a graphical user interface toolkit. So, "NetHack with Qt interface" is a version of NetHack which has a user interface module written using the Qt toolkit. -How is it better than the plain X11 interface? The Qt interface has these extra features: o Tiles (graphics) in the inventory and other item-menu windows. @@ -23,32 +20,3 @@ o You rarely need to put the mouse in a pop-up to interact with it. o Macros - hidden feature - F1=multi-rest F2=multi-search F3=try-it o It is much easier to code, so new feature-requests are more easily done. o Sound support. - -The standard NetHack X11 interface is written in C using the Athena -Widgets toolkit. The strongest reason for doing it that way was -that NetHack is one of the most incredibly portable programs of -any kind, and the Athena Widget Set is also available for free on -a large number of X11 implementations. The problem is that Athena -Widgets (also known as Xaw) is very ugly, difficult to program in, -and buggy. The Qt interface toolkit on the other hand is written -in C++ and is freely portable to any X11 implementation, but is -less widespread, making it inappropriate for the standard NetHack -X11 interface. - -Sound support - -The QtNetHack patch includes experimental support for sounds to be -played based on messages. For example, you can arrange for a gong -to sound when the message "... cursing shoplifter..." appears. The -system maps any regular expression (can be just some text) to a -sound. The QtNetHack windowport is the only one providing this -method, and it does so using the NAS (Network Audio System) . As -distributed, the patch enables this feature - see include/config.h -once you have applied the patch, and look for USER_SOUNDS for an -explanation of how to disable it if you want to. - -You will also want to collect some sound samples to try it out, -and a .nethackrc attaching them to messages. This package contains -the .au files that I use, and my ~/.nethackrc. Many of the sounds -are from the nhsound package, which you can find referenced on the -NetHack Home Page. |
