newbie here- I played Angband back in the mid 90's for a while, and more recently I periodically pick up ToME 2.3.X. I'm a refugee from the ToME site now that it is more or less closing, so figured I'd register here.
Anyway- just browsing through and saw your post. You all probably know about this already, but.
**Someone already ported Rogue**,
and it works pretty well with the touch screen. Holding horizontally shows you the whole map in ASCII, and holding vertically gives you a zoomed in view either ascii or with a tileset (can choose the size you want in settings).
Tap once to walk one space, tap twice to run in one of the 8 directions. Tap twice on the character (always centered) to pull up an inventory. There's a scroll-down list of commands, and they all have some swipe equivalent (for example, tracing a capital W on the screen activates the Wield Weapon command, and pulls up a scroll down list of the weapons in your inventory.
I've definitely killed some time waiting for my train playing this, but would love to see Angband or a variant (at least something with upstairs and a town with shops!)
