I am working on converting a Unix program (rogue) to Hyper C. Aside from memory restrictions on overlay size, my only real problem has been curses and termcap. There are several variables (do, uc, so, se, te, ve, etc) which I need to know what they mean. I also need a way to find a totally random number to use as a seed (the original uses processid). Any help would be appreciated (and gain mention in the credits....) Don't ask why I'm doing this...this is how I'm learning C due to a lack of $$$ to buy a book. I'd also like some help regarding certain functions which return an error #0x0a from the hyperc assembler. I don't know why, and size doesn't seem to be the problem. If anyone can tell me what the error is and how to fix it, that would be appreciated. Sometime in the next month look for HyperRogue, a rogue that can be played by anyone on a // that can run hyper C. I'd also like suggestions for any nifty little additions that could be made. I'm planning to use some mousetext characters, if I could figure out why I'd add mouse support, but I don't see what good it'd do. If this pans out successfully, apple-users may look forward to a few more Roguish games, such as Omega or Moria. (Those would lower my phone bill considerably....maybe then I could afford a C book :) Thanks for any replies, and please use e-mail, I'm liable to miss any replies that are posted here... ----- -- | Internet----- | 'I'll have to teach you a few of my spells.
