Hengband in OS X Mountain Lion

Maddz · October 20, 2012, 18:51

Well, I upgraded to Mountain Lion and now Hengband no longer works. Can anyone out there point me at a compiled version that does work on Mountain Lion? (Or give me detailed step-by-step instructions on how to compile it myself...)

It's actually my favourite Angband variant - I even prefer it to vanilla Angband and keep coming back to it.

Update: signed up for Apple Dev tools and downloaded XCode. The man will have a play later this week.

Try Chengband. It's everything you like about Hengband, except even more of them. Many new races, classes, and monsters. The game has also been made significantly more challenging, with a variety of new monster tricks, including Antimagic, Fear Auras, and Retaliation Auras.

There is one major issue with Chengband - no Mac version...

OK, the man successfully managed to compile Hengband. However, it won't work - it runs, throws an error 'can't find save file, more...' and then it locks up. He thinks it may be an issue with the curses file. So, back to the drawing board.
