Hi!
So what are roguelikes? Still developed, usually ASCII style role-playing games that complexity and level of difficulty is very high. Four of the most known games are Angband, Nethack, ADOM and Rouge. I enjoy playing them so I decide to install it for kindle and now would like to share with you, how you can do that.
Probably for people that are proficient linux users that what I will write is very easy, but for normal users it's a bit hard so I decide to share with you how to run ADOM (Ancient Domains of Mystery) for Kindle 3.
So what do you need?
1. Jailbreak.
2. Launchpad
3. Myts terminal.
So assuming that all of this is installed on your kindle (You don't have to be the root!) it is a short way from here. Now you must download from the ADOM (http://www.ancardia.com/download.html) page edition fitted for Raspbian / ARM processor. Put it on the kindle.
Go into terminal and write:
mntroot rw
/mnt/us/adom
Ooops. Error. It should give message about too small window of terminal. So plug your kindle into the computer another time and look for myts folder on kindle. While you are there you must edit myts.ini with notepad and change settings of fonts for (changes are bold):
include = keydefs.ini
Font = 7x14B.hex
Encoding = UTF8
FontHeight = 14
FontWidth = 7
YOffset = 40
Ok so now you return to your terminal, write commands
mntroot rw
/mnt/us/adom
and you can enjoy the one of most complex and hardest games in the world!
I hope this would be helpful to someone.
