User interface

From Wikihack

NetHack's user interface is primarily ASCII. Graphical interfaces based on tiles are available for nearly all platforms, and some platforms have exotic interfaces such as Falcon's Eye, Vulture's Eye and glHack.

A screenshot of the ASCII interface is below. Click on some parts to find out what they mean.
