I think tiles would basically be essential for Nethack to work on Rockbox.

I don't think that'd work very well. It'd be possible, and probably the best plan for the H120 and maybe the Archoses, but you'd get a lot more clarity with some halfway decent tiles and color coding. It might be frustrating to be unable to tell the difference between something beneficial and something negative.

I still play nethack in text mode... no colors, no tiles.

That said, in my mind, nethack requires a full keyboard... I've tried it on a pocketpc, and it's just too awkward to play.

I play in text mode on a PC, but on a 176x132 pixel LCD that's not as clear as it could be, I think having some colored tiles would help visibility. Though no really way to know until it's testable, 'eh?

Maybe iRogue is a good starting point to get a roguelike game in rockbox. This is made for PalmOS which is a little bit more rockboxish than the vanilla nethack is. http://roguelike-palm.sourceforge.net/iRogue/

I am in no way a person to decide what can and can't be done, but those screenshots lead me to believe it could look nice and be done with rockbox.
Keep ROCKing On!
EDIT:Woops, didn't realize how old this topic was. Sorry for being the gravedigger.

I see that this thread hasn't been active in two years, but I would definitely be willing to contribute some effort to making this happen.  I have plenty of experience playing nethack at this point (though still far from ascending!), but no experience with writing a plugin for RockBox.  Are any more seasoned developers interested in working on this?

I would guess from the lack of activity over the last two years, the answer is probably "no"  :-\

I'll move this into "Feature Requests" on the off chance that some talented soul has missed it here though.
