Hey, looks great! I really like the ASCII stylings... but then, I
would.

It's really no problem, there is no "official" logo for rfk, I just
made those up as part of the website.

First off, it's really slick.

Second, the status area of the game should be at least two lines deep.
(The POSIX version is three, but that's because an underline is used
for the bottom line.) In the top left, it should say
"robotfindskitten" followed by the version number, which has
historically been: v$MAJOR.$MINOR.$NKI where the major number is the
major version, the minor number is the minor version number (although
usually ridiculously long (see screenshot), and $NKI is the number of
NKI in the pool (not on screen).

Then, after the animation of robot and kitten, it's supposed to have a
red "Heart" suit character. I notice that your character set has card
suits, so it should be doable. The "HEART" was taken out of the POSIX
version because of character set issues... I guess that's your call.

Anyway, more importantly, after the animation it's supposed to say,
"You found kitten! Way to go, robot!" Unfortunately, there's a bug in
the POSIX version right now so it's not always visible on terminals...
that reminds me that we need to fix it.

That's all I can really think of... anyone else?

Oh yeah... would you be willing to let us post the sourcecode on the
website, etc.? See the "submit a port" page on the website for all the
requisite details.

Thanks again, and great work!

Peter
