| Description | Alternate text interface GUI for NetHack |
| The "curses" windowport is a patch to vanilla NetHack to add a new
text-based interface for NetHack, using high-level curses routines to control the display. Currently, it has been compiled and tested on Linux, Windows and Mac OS X, but it should also be portable to a number of other systems that have a curses library implementation. Some features of this interface compared to the traditional tty interface include: * Dynamic window resizing (e.g. maximizing a terminal window) * Dynamic configurable placement of status and message windows, relative to the map * Makes better use of larger and smaller terminal windows * Fancier display (e.g. window borders, optional popup dialogs, splash screen, and better menus) * Portable "cursesgraphics" option for fancier line-drawing characters for drawing the dungeon - this should work on most terminals/platforms More information, screenshots, and binaries for Windows and Mac OS X are available on the project wiki homepage: http://nethack-curses.wikia.com/wiki/NetHack_Curses_Interface_Wiki | |

| Do you perchance have updated source or a binary for Slashem?[Quote] | ||

| You're right Karl, my error: works great. (It just conflicts with the autoconf patch which I had already applied to my "base" 343 version. D'oh.) Thank you, and sorry for the noise.
This really is a fantastic update to nethack: keeps the text-ui yet enhanced for taking advantage of today's terminals. Try it on nethack.alt.org and see how much more you like the game-play.[Quote] | ||

| I just retested, and it works for me:
wget http://nethack.edeca.net/karl/nh343-curses-beta3.patch.gz gunzip nh343-curses-beta3.patch.gz tar -zxvf nethack-343-src.tgz cd nethack-3.4.3 patch -p1 <../nh343-curses-beta3.patch What sort or error or reject do you get applying? Had you applied any other patches first?[Quote] | ||

| I love using curses on nethack.alt.org but this version of the patch does not apply cleanly to nethack-343-src.tgz from sourceforge .... If someone has an adjusted patch, please post a link.[Quote] | ||

| Haven't played with it a lot yet, but it looks to me like you struck a perfect balance between making it more convenient and still keeping it NetHack. Well done![Quote] | ||

| Tried it on un.nethack.nu - it's truly a welcome change from the old tty interface.
Keep up the good work![Quote] | ||
