Hi,

I was looking for angband -like ports for n900, looks like 'original' angband was ported to n810, but I was wondering if you could easily port Z+Angband, which I find to be best (Z)Angband clone so far for fremantle.

Out of the box, the game compiles and runs on i386 maemo5, but I am a bit hesitant on starting to develop a touchscreen-UI,

Movement is the biggest issue, as you use numpad on PC, so w/o d-pad we have to use the touchscreen.

Since it's going to be touchscreen, it probably makes sense to add a possible on screen keyboard for other keys as well (a'la the n810 angband port).

However, I think an extra numpad area is a bit of a kludge, so I was wondering if it would be trivial/easy/possible to make it so that:

1) Map is always auto-centered (the game supports this already)
2) there would be 'invisible' buttons around the character which would move it to that direction.

I think this would work better than "click on the tile you want to go to", any other ideas?
