How I installed the Linux version of angband from the aur repository on to my steam deck.
And it worked, it downloaded and installed angband however with a font glitch that can be resolved with a command I found from ( https://github.com/angband/angband/issues/4575 )

Help with pausing while traveling
Link to Angband running code, which has some of the features you're describing. It's a big chunk of C, but about halfway down there's a comment with a bunch of description which might be useful.

People To Make Games With: A Free Resource
There is a way to get many people contributing and collaborating to a single project over extended periods, even as individual people come and go. That way is called free and open-source software. See e.g. Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup, Brogue: Community Edition, Angband, Cataclysm: DDA.

- any suggestions for a beginner roguelike? something that's not infuriating
-
anyone can recommend me a cheap roguelike-roguelite
For a long time, most traditional roguelikes were free (although there seem to be more on steam lately). I think Brogue is a good place to start; it isn't too complicated, it has some nice quality of life stuff, cooperates with a mouse, and its pretty for its genre.

What kind of builds are currently possible
I only play community edition, and my ascensions have been lightning, conjuration, teleport and some reaping combinations. My mastery was teleport with invis/reaping support. Multiplicity weapons are good (spear, rapier) but i tend to get ambitious and play hard for a mastery and screw it up.

Best roguelike to start with?
Your best option is Brogue (community edition), in my opinion.

Free games that can be replayed/played for a while
Brogue is another good option if you're down with rogue-likes, can basically run on anything (& has an Android version).
