Try using the 2D graphics API (Canvas and SurfaceView). I suspect there are few, if any, games on Android akin to Nethack that attempt to use the widget API (ImageView and scrolling containers). I know that Ed Burnette's book _Hello, Android_ covers this API, albeit for a Sudoku game rather than something like Nethack. One of these days, I'll have to learn this stuff myself... -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
