Eglot + clangd not working for NetHack code base
My configuration of Eglot is simple: (use-package eglot :hook (c-mode . eglot-ensure)). And it works for a single c file. But when I use this setup to read the code of NetHack, it doesn't work for linting and definition finding (M-.), even though eglot connection has no problem. I observed the same problems when reading the code of SQLite. Some specific problems I observed:

First version of nethack with a bestiary?
Since nethack 3.1.0, the source for nethack's "bestiary" has been dat/data.base, in plain text, processed into a file named "data" when building the program. The unprocessed file intended for the nethack's next version can be seen at https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/blob/NetHack-3.7/dat/data.base (it's quite long).

NetHack splash screen source? (question in comments)
I am not really 100% sure what you are looking for. Are you looking for the actual picture? It is built during compilation from this uuencoded file https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/blob/NetHack-3.7/win/win32/splash.uu
- (...) instead of one single extremely large structure named 'g' to house all of the relocated global variables, they are distributed into several ga through gz. (...) To make things easy for the developer, each variable is placed into the struct corresponding to the starting letter of the variable.

Cant go down staircase?
xNetHack is based on NetHack 3.7.0, and there was a bug (now fixed) in NetHack 3.7.0 that caused stair destinations to be messed up after a game is recovered. I wonder that has happened here: perhaps you are playing a version of xNetHack that inherited the bug from NetHack 3.7.0, this is a recovered game.

Minetown Shop with a closet, uses other than YASD for shoplifting?
This is a bug that was fixed in the upcoming 3.7, in this commit. Basically, if the random filler created a space that was made inaccessible by the fixed level design getting overlaid on top of the random filler, a door could be created to make that space accessible.

YAAP: Elvish Atheist Wizard
There is not a comprehensive list of changes in existence. This one comes close but doesn't contain everything https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/blob/NetHack-3.7/doc/fixes3-7-0.txt

Is displacement worth anything after you get intrinsic invisibility?
I have an open github issue requesting that intrinsic invisibility be made only temporary, not permanent. That would make the invisibility mechanic more interesting since you could decide multiple times per game whether you want it, and extrinsic invisibility items would become more useful.

- any suggestions for a beginner roguelike? something that's not infuriating
-
anyone can recommend me a cheap roguelike-roguelite
For a long time, most traditional roguelikes were free (although there seem to be more on steam lately). I think Brogue is a good place to start; it isn't too complicated, it has some nice quality of life stuff, cooperates with a mouse, and its pretty for its genre.

What kind of builds are currently possible
I only play community edition, and my ascensions have been lightning, conjuration, teleport and some reaping combinations. My mastery was teleport with invis/reaping support. Multiplicity weapons are good (spear, rapier) but i tend to get ambitious and play hard for a mastery and screw it up.

Best roguelike to start with?
Your best option is Brogue (community edition), in my opinion.
- Best roguelike on steam for a beginner?

Looking for non-action roguelike/lite (i.e. colony sims, deckbuilder, strategy, etc.)

Free games that can be replayed/played for a while
Brogue is another good option if you're down with rogue-likes, can basically run on anything (& has an Android version).
- Does this game still exist?
