Menus and Text

There are a few basic user interface elements present in NetHackDS. Among the most important are the menu and text window displays. As you would expect, these are used to present modal, scrollable lists of textual information or items that the user may select. Typically, these displays are activated in response to actions taken by the user (for example, displaying the item inventory).

Controls in menu and text windows are fairly simple:

Right

Page Down Left

Additionally, menu and text windows can be interacted with using the stylus. In particular:

• Tapping an item in a menu will select it or increment it's counter.
• Tapping an item while holding L or R will deselect it or decrement it's counter.
• Tapping the arrows at the top/bottom of the screen will page the display up/down.
• Tapping the checkmark icon will dismiss the menu (equivalent to pressing A).
• Tapping the X icon will cancel the menu (equivalent to pressing B).
