Somebody is a fan of jonathan swift modest proposal ! Edit Congrats ! <| sep |> Going to cost you $ 110 to see it now . <| sep |> This always makes me really sad for a reason I can ' t articulate . <| sep |> I never recieve any of my samples from them . A shame too , because I ' m looking to splurge on some nice foundation . <| sep |> We seem to be stuck is a comment about terminal emulators in general . Terminal emulators are used for many more things that playing nethack and other roguelikes . Emacs , vim , top , bash , etc , etc , etc ad nausuem . that problem is independent of nethack , and that ' s what you don ' t seem to be getting . per the proposal asking nethack to stop being a tty app . shrug . There ' s a tiles client already and most of the players that I personally respect in the community and indeed the ones I ' m aware being good at nethack care little for the tiles client . That part of the community doesn ' t seem to want a new client . The code will happen if this is the right path forward . The code will happen if you write it .
