NetHack: a Deep Dive into Unix Roguelikes and Open Source

Summary :
This week we have a lighthearted deep dive on NetHack, a Unix Roguelike
from 1987. We’re going to go through its history, how gameplay works, the
fundamental computer science principles behind it, and some of the antics
of hacking on an open source project.
