There are two ways to enable curses in the build. Either set the
environment variable PDCURSES to a folder containing a PDCurses repository
OR place the PDCurses folder alongside the NetHack source repository.
Map back buffer work is done eliminating all flickering caused by
clears of the front buffer during partial updates.
Implemented a cursor blink in both ascii and tile modes.
Fixed bug where we would lose fit to screen when entering rogue level.
When running NetHack.exe in a console set to code page 850, the
multi-byte to wide character mapping will generate unicode values
in the unicode control code range. These values need to be re-mapped
to unicode renderable glyphs using the same mappings we use for
control page 437 otherwise the console font might not render a character
for these unicode control values.
appropriately.
Renamed ntassert to nhassert. (Naming mistake caused by using ntassert
at work).
Re-ordered a few more includes to get window headers included before
nethack headers.
Moved the code page 437 mapping table to winnt.c so that it could be
used in window and console clients.
Added check that fonts support unicode values we use from code page 437.
Use unicode to draw text if font supports it otherwise use ASCII.
the cursor position correctly. This is needed to handle raw printing
correctly. Added check for when we might be running off the bottom
of the screen when handling msmsg(). Added runtime checks to keep
cursor always within bounds.
In nethackw, there can be conflicts between menu accelerators and an extra
choice accelerator. For example, when engraving the using fingers options
conflicts with the unselect all menu accelerator. The extra choice
accelerator should take precedence.
Added support to detect when the current console font has glyphs
that are too wide and will cause rendering errors in the console.
If detected, we warn the user and change the code page to 437
and the font to Consolas. At exit, if we had changed the font
and code page then we will restore to the original font and code page.
Defined strbuf_t and related routines to support dynamically sized
strings. Modified strip_newline() to strip the last newline in a string
instead of the first.
Simplified splash window code using new strbuf_t.
Prior to exiting game, re-enable getreturn and call wait_synch() in
case there is buffered raw prints that must be displayed to user.
Black is a better choice given that the map background
will always be black. This also creates a better polished
experience when all window backgrounds are set to black.
Fix bug where permanent inventory window would go away after
any operation that used the inventory window to pick items. Since
we were hiding the permanent inventory window, this would also
leave a space filled with white, creating jarring visual if
using dark themed window backgrounds.
