# Sample config file for aNetHack 0.0.1
#
# A '#' at the beginning of a line means the rest of the line is a comment.
#
# Some options must be set in this file, other options can be toggled while
# playing.
#
# Copy the contents of this file into
# * defaults.nh, same folder as anethack.exe or anethackW.exe (DOS, Windows)
# * ~/.anethackrc (Unix, linux, Mac OS X)
# * "aNetHack Defaults" on pre-OSX Mac and BeOS
# * aNetHack.cnf on Amiga, Atari, OS/2, and VMS
#
# To change the configuration, comment out the unwanted lines, and
# uncomment the configuration you want.
#
# There are two types of options, boolean and compound options.
# Boolean options toggle a setting on or off, while compound options
# take more diverse values.
# Prefix a boolean option with 'no' or '!' to turn it off.
# For compound options, the option name and value are separated by a colon.
#
# Some options are persistent, and apply only to new games.
