Yeah... I'm using Diablo. And when I'm trying to install the ncurses-base, it just says that it's incompatible application package.

what version of ncurses-base shows up in your list?

It actually even doesn't show up there. I do have extras-devel repo but it's just wont show up.
I tried to download it straight from here http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...ree/n/ncurses/

I am uploading updated version which should automatically install ncurses-base for you. It should be done for diablo in 1-2 hours

Awesome. I tried to install it via apt-get from xterm. Success!
And now Crawl works.

mikkov... did you compile the crawl (stone soup) with tile support?

I wasn't aware of that. There is some problem with build process when compiling for armel in scratchbox. If it's easy to fix I'll make another version.

The latest build is total perfection!

Thanks a ton mikkov! I love firing up rogue games in bed late at night... Helps me to fall asleep.

Real quick though, anyone got a good font or set up that works great for this?

The problem I'm having is that since I have a N800, I need some room on the screen for Xkbd.

Is there a way to cut down on how big Crawl thinks the terminal size is so that text won't be displayed underneath the virtual keyboard?

Thanks!

Okay, so Crawl requires a minimum of a 61x24 screen (80x24 recommended) but really needs at least a 72x24 screen, otherwise there will be a few quirks with the text display.

So here's the setup I've found to be the best.

Copy the Bitstream Vera Sans Mono font to /usr/share/fonts/nokia/ folder as root, then reboot your tablet.
VeraMono.zip

Here's the virtual keyboard to be used.
crawl.zip

Unfortunately I couldn't get it to be as fat as the one for Angband due to the required screen display needed for Crawl.

I also noticed that Xkbd is still broken under Diablo so, for now, we have to continue using the Caps Lock trick to get around that.

Copy this and save it as a Notes file on your memory card.

echo -e \033[?25l'
echo -e \033[?25l'
gconftool-2 -s -t int /apps/osso/xterm/font_size 10
gconftool -s /apps/osso/xterm/scrollbar -t bool false
stty cols 72
stty rows 24
xkbd -geometry +722+65536 -k /media/mmc2/N800/Angband/crawl.xkbd & crawl


From there, just simply open up the Notes file, Select All, then Copy.

Finally, open up Xterm, and while in a full screen with no toolbars or bottom keyboard, press the middle hardware key, Edit then Paste.

Here's a screenshot.


If you are playing with a hardware keyboard, simply remove the line stty cols 72 from your Notes file.

Lastly, if you exit out of the Dungeon immediately, I'm being prompted with:
You have escaped!morgue_directory() = ''

Not sure if that's anything to be concerned about since it doesn't seem to affect the gameplay at all.

If anyone has any better suggestions, please post your set up for the rest of us.

Cheers!

Hey, this is just awesome. I got it working with the help on this thread. The keyboard layout is really tough, at least on the 810. Gotta find a way to map the movement to the d-pad.

The stone soup tiles would *REALLY* kick serious butt.

Thanks for the port!
