thanks

        Hi!

 First of all, sorry for the extremely late response. I won't try to
find an excuse for that, but I really feel sorry.

 About your patch, it won't get applied (in Debian). It is way too
intrusive, wanting a cron job, sgid games, and what's worst: Pull in
python dependencies. That would extremely enlarge the dependency chain,
making it hard and tricky for small systems where it still is quite
useful as time killer.

 If you want to have it happen please suggest it to the original author,
not a distribution. Yes, I know that I patched the game over the time a
fair bit, but so long I guess in a way that could get its approval by
the original developer.

 About making the key for a new game clearer, it's written like that
because the key is configureable and one can switch from using n to
something else. I tried at some point to make that dynamic,
unfortunately I wasn't able to come up with a solution that actually
also worked.
 
 I'll leave the report open for a while before I finally decide to close
it. If you have any further informations why it so totally makes sense
and is a must-have to pull in a python dependency to a package that
currently has only ncurses dependency besides the libc, feel free to
enlighten me.

 So long, and thanks for the suggestion anyway.
Rhonda
