glHack is a port of the game NetHack, using hardware acceleration via OpenGL® to render the 2D graphics. It uses LibSDL as the video and input library.

GnomeHack is a great version of the game... that's what got me hooked :). But the GUI-ness of it (popup windows, scrollbars, etc..) really wasn't to my taste. So I started work on glHack, to make it feel very similiar to the text-terminal version (nice & snappy). but with graphical tiles.

glHack uses OpenGL® for fast rendering, even with high resolutions like 1024x768. Like the TTY version, glHack runs fullscreen with a black background, and most of the screen is reserved for the map, with a few lines at the top for messages, and a few lines at the bottom for player status.
