Every time I try running DoomRL, directly, it just sits there doing nothing (doesn't even clears the screen), ignoring all my keypresses (I need to kill it from another terminal). Then I found out that running the game, and then resizing the terminal window made the game start up and play normally, but that recently stopped working (no idea why). All this only happens when I run the game under urxvt (my terminal emulator of choice), under xterm (using the script or directly) the game works fine.

Any ideas if this is a bug or a problem on my end?

Hey, as you know i tested it at home and it worked with urxvt. So we can say that the terminal emulator is not directly the problem.
Checked it now here at work (yeah, i know, have some spare time :P ) with urxvt and i run into the same problem. After resizing i see the game, but not when i launch it.
Testing a bit around i could solve the problem - just set your TERM-Variable to xterm before starting the game. rxvt-unicode doesnt seem to be "supported" ;)

Hope that helps
