[net.games] Possible mods to search

wws@whuxlm.UUCP (Stoll W William) (08/30/85)

I would like to propose two modifications to search:

1) reverse the positive and negative on the 'y' axis
   so that positive is up and negative is down (like
   the coordinate plane)

2) allow an option to have hack-style directions; i.e.,

		7  8  9			y  k  u
replace		4  5  6	    with	h  .  l
		1  2  3			b  j  n

  -- I keep slipping into hack/rogue/vi mode.  I realize
  that in this mode, some of the other commands would
  have to change.

This is a really neat game, but navigation is very
confusing for me with my hp2621 keyboard and hack-movement
mentality!
