Will it run on Windows Surface Pro?

Hi all,

Anyone got any experience of running DCSS on a Microsoft Surface Pro? If yes - is (webtiles) playable?

With / without keyboard attached?

Thanks,
Dez

Webtiles is mostly operated through a keyboard, so it'll be quite difficult to play it without one.
take it easy

Did you know that I like ruining crawl every now and then? Go check it out.

Yup i hear you. THere is the "virtual" popup keyboard ... but no idea how that would play with the screen / device.

Anyway ... if anyone has played DCSS on a Surface Pro please let me know ... may make the difference between Surface Pro or Ultrabook
(I travel a lot with work and spend many evenings in hotel rooms ... DCSS is a great way to spend an evening when away from home!)

I play Crawl frequently on my Surface Pro, although I do have the keyboard, I couldn't imagine playing without one. Makes plane rides go by in a snap! :D

Do you play the ascii, tiles or webtiles version? I recently tried to play the tiles version on my surface pro, but found that the screen region is much too large and doesn't conform to fit automatically.

Why do you people even use devices without buttons. I still can't wrap my head around it.

I play it on the pro, with the keyboard though. You could still do it with the virtual keyboard i guess
