Version: 1.0 Date: 2011-10-31 Author: Amy Chan (R wrapper); Nethack Gods (nethack) Maintainer: Amy Chan <mathematical.coffee@gmail.com> Description: nethack() to play text-based nethack in the R terminal.

nethack
() starts a nethack session in the R
terminal.
Nethack options may be passed into nethack(); see
nethackOptions
for a list of them.
NOTE: on the Rgui interface (the graphics interface for R in Windows), Nethack *cannot* run in the R terminal. Instead, a command prompt window will be launched, in which one can play Nethack.
**THIS PACKAGE COMES WITH EXECUTABLE VERSIONS OF nethack ALREADY!** This is done for ease of installation - the user does not need to install nethack and add it to their PATH.
However, for security, you may wish to download Nethack
from http://www.nethack.org/v343/downloads.html
yourself. In that case, replace the files in
path/to/your/R/library/nethackR/bin/YOUR_OPERATING_SYSTEM
with the ones you downloaded, where
YOUR_OPERATING_SYSTEM
is 'unix' for Linux & Mac,
and 'windows' for Windows.
(Note - I have not tested this under Mac as I do not have access to one).

Nethack is an awesome game not written by me. I take no credit for it. This is merely a wrapper around the nethack program. http://www.nethack.org
