Using Dwarf Fortress on Galaxy SII
« on: November 04, 2011, 09:29:53 pm »

Hello everyone, recently I stumbled across this: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=50643.0

I was wondering if anyone has gotten this to work using their Galaxy S II? and if so what telnet app did they use on the phone?

Thanks

I tried using ConnectBot on a Samsung Intercept once, not DFTerm, just running plain ol Dwarf Fortress on [DISPLAY:TEXT].  It worked except I could never get CP437 characters to work right, so... generating worlds on the go. :P

Not sure how well DFTerm would work with this, but it's probably worth a look-see. ConnectBot does support telnet connections after all.

I've got it working with putty on a Nokia N97 :)

Is that the program that was made based off putty for the Nokia? and how was the useability, in both screen size and keyboard configuration?
