Angband in what kind of hardware

[Timo Pietilä]

Which kind of hardware you play angband? If you use term windows which one?

I'm asking that because my old monitor retired itself and I bought a new one with much bigger screen resolution and size, and now I don't know what to do with all that extra space. Playing full-screen games feel weird (after playing few hours MoO2 everything looked a bit stretched because this new one is wide-screen monitor).

I play on a win7 box with a widescreen monitor, or a small hp netbook with ubuntu 10.something, or my G1 phone.

EDIT:

10x20 font as well, but I don't maximize the window or have any of the terms up, just use judicious use of look and the item/monster list commands

Win7 widescreen here too... no term windows for me! I like having a BIG dungeon map with BIG letters

[ewert]

Vista widescreen 22" desktop, with msgs, monster list and object list windows open on the side. Or 9" netbook Asus T91MT, with same setup ... but very small font size.

I use my 32" flatscreen tv as my monitor. I normally use 10x20x font size and no term windows.

[Derakon]

I have two displays, both widescreen. One has the dungeon; the other has a few terms (monster recall, inventory/equip, item list, monster list) and a lot of leftover space for other programs.

Same term-window setup as Ewert: monster list + object list + messages on the borders of the screen - btw, it is slightly easier on the eye if you put them on the left of your main term.
But for some odd reasons I play the Windows versions under Linux using wine...

Linux, one window, default size, compiled with the X11 interface. I tend to prefer Arch or other distros that install development headers by default, as it makes the compiling easier.

The essential term-window for my playstyle, is the monster list. I have screen space for one more term-window, but little idea what to set it to to make it useful.

This works for Win7 (and historically Vista, W2K, and Win95). I haven't done a Knoppix (Linux LiveDVD distribution that ships with gcc) build, but I expect similar screen usage when booting into Knoppix for angband.
