[FA] WinCE port + Mouse buttons screenshots

[Psi]

Nick asked me to take some screenshots from the WinCE port of FAAngband - so here they are! This port displays the 'mouse buttons' on an (optional) command bar (it can also be toggled to give a row of buttons which can be used as macro triggers).

Traditional ascii display in the town - landscape mode:


Using the command menu:


The character screen in portrait mode (notice that the buttons are context sensitive):


In the wilderness in portrait mode, using old tiles and bigtile mode. With this font and bigtile mode makes the tiles square and a sensible size to be able to accurately click where you want to travel to:

This is seriously cool

Any chance of capturing the device in your hands while running the game, so I can make some idea how big the screen really is?

Great! ..

Excellent, Psi, thinks for those.

Note that I'm also planning a birth option which will halve player and monster detection, los and projection distances. This will make the effective area of interest much smaller, resulting in a more 'local' game, and reduce the problem of offscreen attacks when playing on really small devices.

If you are reducing detection you probably want to consider reducing level size by a similar proportion too.

I'm considering having a small levels birth option as well - I'll have to look at how NPP has done it.
