This is my first attempt at porting robotfindskitten (http://robotfindskitten.org/) to Rockbox. Right now it has a few problems:
- The screensize calculation goes wrong, and leaves a large empty area at the bottom.
- The NKI (non-kitten item) texts don't scroll.
- General ickyness with text positioning


Wikipedia description of robotfindskitten:

robotfindskitten is a "Zen simulation," originally written by Leonard Richardson for DOS. It is a free computer game with an ASCII interface in which the user (playing the eponymous robot and represented by a pound sign "#") must find kitten (represented by a random character) on a field of other random characters. Walking up to items allows robot to identify them as either kitten, or any of a variety of whimsical, strange or simply random Non-Kitten Items (NKIs). It is not possible to lose

And here's a patch that should actually build for a real target. Some additional stuff that needs to be done:
- Use colour if the target supports it
- Clear the NKI line when moving

Updates:
- Make NKI text scroll
- Colour support
- Text/char placement fixes

Compiles for h120, recorder and ipod video, both target and sim. I've only tested the sims (I'm currently without a Rockbox-able target), so I'd love it if someone with a bit of spare time would take it for a whirl.

"Proper" patch relative to the root, rather than apps/plugins/

Update:
- Change controls on Ipods to not use the scrollwheel.
- Show instructions (on 320x240 only right now - I need to create a nice way of displaying lots of text)
- Add robotfindskitten section to the manual

Edit: Oops, forgot to attache the patch

Further update:
- Clear button queue when robotfindskitten
- Nicer play_animation which includes colour and looks nicer
- Wait for the user to press something after finding kitten
- Fix an off-by one error that made the rightmost column inaccessible (and crashed if you try to go there)
