It's not clear how to use the "direction keys" in the initial startup keys

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start the game for the first time
2. At the 'enter your name' prompt, pressing jk will enter them as part of the 
name. There are no other "direction keys" available on the onscreen keyboard
3. enter starts the game

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

At least a textual hint that switching to ^X will allow me to select a 
different type of game by pressing ^j and/or ^k.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Current android version from market as of today.

Since I did play crawl on my computer before, I was eventually able to figure 
it out. Someone who never played crawl would have problems selecting the 
tutorial.

(Obviously I meant the initial startup *screen* but typo'd.)

Might put a grid on the screen to indicate that you can press it. This could be switched off by the user in preferences. Also might be worth showing the help file the first time someone plays.
