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.

How to make the overworld
I have done some "wilderness generation" in FAangband by having a base type of terrain for each biome type, and then adding "formations" (random groups of selected other terrain types) and then maybe some other areas (grassed clearings in forest, for example). FAangband has discrete wilderness levels, so the scaling/zooming doesn't apply. I am, though, coming up against similar problems to yours in Beleriand, which has a fixed world map with set biomes at the top level, but has to fill in all the terrain in a natural way. Note that Beleriand is still in its very early stages.
