I feel much better now. The pain is pretty much gone. In addition, a few minor quirks in my car have been addressed. It's nice to have a working tripometer so that I can have a sanity check for my gas gauge — this car and my last both have somewhat inaccurate gas gauges.

My port of Nethack for the GP2X is coming along nicely. I may even be able to release it this week. The only original thing I'm doing with it is coupling an SDL terminal emulator to it, which involves a few custom changes. Said terminal emulator used to have a single scrolling line for keyboard input, which was awful. By changing it to use two lines for the on-screen keyboard, I get rid of the scroll. To fill the dead space, I've made it look like a Nethack wall of sorts. In addition, the joypad movement directions have been mapped to the appropriate Nethack direction keys, so that you can move your player without using the on-screen keyboard.

There will be a movie that shows an example Nethack session once I make a public release :^) .
