As far as I can see you can play it in linux (with or without wine). But it would have to be ported to pandora (no idea how hard that would be since I'm no programmer). Optimized it could run but probably slow. More info: http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/40d:System_requirementsWolenber said:Sadly, it's not. Toady One hasn't even made it compatible with Linux (although he has released enough of the source to allow a third party to do Linux and Mac releases). You may be able to contact him, and with his permission convince somebody else to port it.
That being said, even then I doubt it would be playable at these speeds.

If there's actually a text mode for DF it should be easy enough to do that with screen and ssh.sinoth said:There was some work done on a telnet layer for DF... basically you could run it on a fast machine, then play it through telnet elsewhere. I'll see if I can track down the author and get it working.
It has a rather steep learning curve, but also a surprising amount of depth. Great game.fusion_power said:people really play this? ^^
I've downloadet it, I've installed it, I've seen it...and then I ran away in fear. :lol:
"beginner-friendly" and "Dwarf Fortress" seems to find no match. I even couldn't find a german translation which would help me alot. I guess it's a nice "game" but somehow...
