Hi, I found a way to run nethack on my old Kindle that many people actively use nowadays.

https://www.timelesssky.com/blog/nethack-for-kindle

But after some time playing with the PW1, the controls to move the character became not much intuitive.

So after a research, I found Nethack for Android. There is a fixed directional and a row of most useful commands and some adaptations, like the option to kick a door when it's locked, automating the need to ctrl+d or k and choose direction. https://github.com/gurrhack/NetHack-Android

I tried to bring to kindle but with no success, with some luck someone can bring this improvement to us.

I use this forum a lot of years, but only now there were the need to contribute, so thank you for all people that bring help, specially the developers!
