How can I play Rogue on my android phone?

I tried playing on the web but there's no keyboard to type in a name and get past that screen. Nothing obvious in the play store.

Thread about phone emulation in general I guess.

Emulate the GBA homebrew port of Rogue

If you're too retarded to figure out how to use an on screen keyboard you're way too retarded to play the game.

Why Rogue and not NetHack?

Not OP but Rogue is a lot more straightforward.

Just plug in a keyboard. Every good Android phone supports USB OTG.

nethack takes like 100k moves to beat. playing it on a touch interface is insane. i've tried it and it's awful. it would take a year to play one game.

You could use bluetooth keyboard though. It's smaller and draws less power than OTG.

i agree, people post screenshots of phone ascensions on reddit, i cant even imagine

Absolute fucking bullshit, NetHack is the only game I've ever played where the phone version is the most accessible one. The touch screen saves time, I have no idea how you think a keyboard is more practical than what they did in the Android version

>>8741769
Play NetHack

there's just no way of streamline this many controls on a touch interface.

Actually it doesnt, once you get used to that. Took me 1 to 2 days to reach Wizard of Yendor (I think it was 40th floor)

t. played a lot of Nethack on iPhone, not a single successful run

Just play nethack man. Either that or DC:SS. On second thought, don't do that. Fuck boulder beetles.

Try Pathos: Nethack Codex. It's pretty good "nethacklike" with great mobile controls.
