Why can't they have a screenshot? They gan be executed in a window, and the window can be grabbed by Gimp, for example. For a game like nethack-console, I think it is certainly meaningful to see what sort of interface it gives you. The same is true for a game like boggle, or hunt the wumpus. > Maybe we should add a special case screenshot saying "Text-mode only" > for all games having only interface::commandline or > interface::text-mode instead of displaying the swirl? I think it makes sense for packages which have no interface (that is, daemons). For text-mode games, I'd just go for screenshots. How to take the screenshots is a question, though. It's probably nice to have some uniformity in font and colours. Thanks, Bas -- I encourage people to send encrypted e-mail (see http://www.gnupg.org).
