Of course, the display and input code in Dwarf Fortress is, well... minimal. It would certainly be possible to develop a portable Dwarf Fortress client for either the PSP or the DS that would communicate back to your computer over the network and use it to update the world. All you would need is a static IP address.

I do DS homebrew as a hobby, and if I didn't have about 1000 other projects going on maybe I'd port Kobold Quest. If anybody else feels like doing it and wants some pointers let me know.

I've been AWOL (stupid job) but probably have a few hours this weekend if there's anything specific I could help out on. Is music still broken in Kobold Quest? I could work on that if it's the same system used in Dwarf Fortress...

Same crash here on 10.3.9 (PowerPC). I'm guessing the compiled version isn't actually the same as the source code, which looks fine. I can't check it until I'm on my development machine, but I'll try compiling it tonight.

Yeah, the text input is a bit wacko...

but in this instance, it seemed better to try and isolate the mac stuff that start telling Toady how to rearrange everything.

But hey, another Mac-head lookin' at my code is just fine.      

EDIT: Oh, and on the endianness issue...  Doing the porting work on an Intel mac meant I could leave that to last...

I agree the endian thing isn't a priority, I just needed to put it in to verify that my 10.3 fix worked.

I'm 90% sure the keycode stuff you did actually will work when the table is adjusted, even if it is wacko. I agree that it's much better to have code that's easy for Toady One to integrate than code that's 100% kosher OS X approved but ends requiring extra hoops.

I emailed Toady One, but for anyone else following along it will be very easy for him to build a single Universal application that supports 10.3 and later on PowerPC and intel (at least for Kobold Quest).

Also, big thanks to mattmoss for doing all the work. Nobody should think that me calling something wacko is an actual criticism of his code - more of a joke.

It required a pretty simple fix to get it to run on 10.3.9, it would be harder to get it going on 10.2 and probably isn't worth the effort. The current binary seems to work fine on my 10.4 intel machine, after the 10.3 fix it seems to be running on my 10.3 PPC machine (I get key code messages) but I don't see any graphics. I would guess there's an endian bug in the graphics display, I'll take a quick look at it and see if anything is obvious.

10.3 fix below (file is enabler_osx.cpp, line 418)
---------------

code:

---

if (HIPointConvert != NULL)
{
   HIPointConvert(&hipt, kHICoordSpaceScreenPixel, NULL,
      kHICoordSpaceView, dstView);
}
else
{
   hipt.x -= cr.left;
   hipt.y -= cr.top;
   HIViewConvertPoint(&hipt, NULL, dstView);
}
pt.h = (short) hipt.x;
pt.v = (short) hipt.y;
