Hi,
Let me preface this by saying thanks for porting the game (and for providing the ability to seamlessly switch between the ASCII and graphical versions!)
In the version of rogue I used to play growing up searching was a simple tap of 's' and it would search in all directions. However, searching in this port has become a painstaking user experience. Pretty much to the point where I don't want to play anymore, unfortunately. May I suggest that you replace the 'rest' command (tapping the center of the grid) with a search in all directions? Thanks!
