Angband for Android 10 (volunteers needed)

[tg122]

One thing I've noticed with Sil-q is that the game doesn't automatically save when you quit the game via the quick settings quit command. I'm not sure if this is known or not but I figured I'd mention it because I just lost a little bit of progress because I forgot to manually save before quitting. I believe V and FAangband automatically save when you quit.

Thanks for the report. Can you confirm if the game is saved when you "sweep close" the app?

Yeah I think so. It saves when I bring up the natural sil-q menu and select save and quit. It also saves when I just minimize the app without closing it.

Having been playing a Dwarf Paladin for a couple of days when I have a chance, I'd like to ask if it would be possible for any of the following improvements to be made - I think some at least may not be possible without changes to core vanilla source so :shrug:

* In the inventory, it would save a bunch of space if we could choose to abolish the item type in the listings. Instead of "5 scrolls of Treasure Detection" it could just say "5 Treasure Detection" or if you wanted an identifier, the ASCII symbol would work well. "! Heroism" "~ 5x Treasure Detection" . gbwhatsapp

* Can we move the status bar (displays Level feeling, Hunger stsus, buffs/conditions etc) to the top of the screen? it's currently somewhat obscured under my ribbon bar which I have at high opacity.

* This may be a bad attempt at keymapping, but I have a keymap for casting 2 spells - m1am1f (I've also tried m1a\e\em1f ) but the keymap only triggers the first spell (in fact the button text on the keymap only displays m1a too - am I missing something here?)

Once again, great port; really impressed; thanks for getting me back to playing Angband after quite a gap.

I agree with your post.

Hey Cuboideb, it's incredible to see that your project has been going strong for almost three years!

I have an issue, the last I played was in 2020-2021 and I usually backup my game data for game apps using adb. I restore it when I move to a new device or format my phone. It worked for this too. Maybe I even did it once in 2022 in my phone, but didn't play. Now when I try, it fails. I don't seel my character saved file (Angband vanilla) or high scores. Ditto for Sil (however, I do get some error saying it can't find a character file before starting anew).

Any suggestions?

So far, I was thinking I'd download the older versions of the app, salvage my highscore list and save file from it and try "applying" it to the latest version by copying whatever files I get.
