Any interest in NetHack?

I was curious if anyone else here plays NetHack, and likes the idea of playing it on the Kindle?

I was able to do an "apt-get install nethack-console" from a Debian chroot environment, and it sort of works. The main issue is the fact that the terminal width for kiterm on a non-DX Kindle is 75 characters, but NetHack seems to think that it is 80 columns wide, so it draws stuff off of the screen. I also compiled a version with a different text interface, and while that has some advantages (e.g. being able to use the direction pad for movement and menu navigation, and making use of the extra vertical space for messages), it still draws off of the screen. I am pretty sure this is a kiterm-specific bug.

So, has anyone else tried any version of NetHack on the Kindle, and if so, what were your results? Are there any other terminal apps I could try this with?

I am still struggling with the box drawing caracters which are incorrectly rendered in mc. I don't quite understand special[] in terminal.c ...well, got to keep some fun for later!
You might want to try my update to Luigi's terminal, which extends the screen to 36x100 (and includes another fix from DSMID). Complete thread at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=109472,
