The top question on this website is about nethack so being a total baller I downloaded the game. I got the visual version for windows. I want to play a wizard but I died on my first attempt. I wonder if it had something to do with me not being able to use spells. I have no idea how to play this game so I wonder what are some useful commands. (i learned that D lets you drop things) and how to generally play each class.
It doesnt need to get into the specifics I just want to learn the basics so i dont keep dying (although tricks are appreciated as well)

, to get acquainted with the very basics.Oh, by the way. You are going to keep dying. A lot. The only alternative to death is (spoiler alert!) victory and only 1.43% of all games played on public server nethack.alt.org result in victory (source: 1, 2), so get used to it :)
