Just built and installed NetHack 5.0.0 and holy cats, there's a tutorial now!

(Fired it up in an ~80x25 xterm for that classic hack feel, though my default xterm font is a bit too modern)

Okay, building with WANT_WIN_CURSES=1 and throwing some assorted OPTIONS in one's .nethackrc makes things a lot nicer on larger-than-80x25 terminals. #Gaming #NetHack

@swetland OT: most readable terminal font I've seen in ages. Name? (Probably won't switch away from Frederic Cambus' "Spleen", but it's nice to have an alternative for someone else.)

@swetland FYI: The tutorial has been part of 3.7 for a while

@swetland As I scrolled my brain saw "there's a tutorial cat" and I got briefly excited.
