Future-proof cross-platform interface library, only GCU / ncurses?

[Pete Mack]

When I tried the SDL front-end (some time ago), the performance was unacceptable, though it is possible that this has changed.

The Windows frontend really very rarely needs any changes, it's pretty much been the same for at least 15 years. I'd advise keeping it rather than making people play a much less functional curses version.

In Unangband most options of the Windows front-end don't respond or break the game. That's why was looking for a single front-end code alternative, to avoid having to deal with such problems.

Comparing that to the Zangband Windows front-end, everything except one option works. Nothing breaks. If I'd build on the solid Zangband base, then these front-ends are all fine.

Ah, damn. I didn't realise Un had made such changes.
