Title: [Idea] Nethack for nSpire
Post by: JustCause on February 08, 2011, 09:01:33 am: Source and binaries. (http://www.nethack.org/v343/downloads.html)

Nethack is a classic dungeon crawl with randomly generated levels, permanent character death, and insane difficulty. It's written in C and is open source, so as far as I can tell (though I know very little about the nSpire) it's a good candidate for porting. I've poured over 40 hours into this game and still haven't come anywhere close to beating it. The nSpire could use a game with this level of depth.

I don't own an nSpire and can't make this, but is anyone else interested?

NetHack is a sleek 3.6 MB, so space shouldn't be a problem, as the Nspire has more than 4 times that much storage. The game is written in C, so only one question remains: How good is Ndless's C compiler?

If NetHack was ported, I would go out and buy a TI-Nspire tomorrow. It's a great game, and if I was able to play it during math class I might finally beat it.

Just like how there are hundreds of great pontential games to still be made for the 83+. but anyways looks great. I don't have an nspire either,(I'm focusing on Prizm dev work now) but there are plently of people around here that would love to make this.

I like Calcrogue but the lack of directional arrow support and graphics:platform-specs ratio kinda threw me away. I wish like the 83+ one that was in the works for a while we had the option to use arrows + diagonal movement with them instead of just the numpad. On certain computers the numpad will not work in calc emulators.

Nice 6 year old necropost there. Since this thread has not been updated I think your best bet for determining if it's been done is googling it. I doubt it has been done though.
