Vulture's Eye for N900 is now in Extras-Testing
 
Hello, All!

With the help from Clive Crous, I have ported Vulture's Eye to Maemo5. The binary package is now available from Extras-Testing. It is optified too, so do not be afraid to install it. The source package is coming if/when it makes through the autobuilder.

Vulture's Eye is a version of Nethack with Diablo-like 3D user interface. It is pretty neat and works well on N900 (although some intro screens do not quite fit). Here is a few screenshots, taken on the PC:

PS: And do not forget to vote, or it never goes to Extras!

Awesome already saw/installed it before seeing this post. Only problem i've had so far is that I seem unable to kick/bash locked doors?

Continue clicking on them. In fact, the game works just like the desktop version, so refer to that.

Argh. NEVER send people to -devel or -testing without a CLEAR warning please. "Do not be afraid to install it" is exactly the wrong advice.

Ok. You make sure the Extras promotion threshold is lowered to 5 votes, as has been agreed in an IRC meeting about one month ago (jeremiah knows about this). And I make sure I warn people about Extras-Testing every time it is mentioned. Deal?

Why upload the binary package to non-free, but the source to the autobuilder? You\'ll end up with it [\"it\" being the binary package, too] being in free, as well as non-free.

Instead, just upload the source package to non-free, too (done using dput; just upload the *_source.changes to non-free). This is what I did for Jagged Alliance 2: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d.../source/j/ja2/
