decide whether to install them, from the description.

Actually, I don't know any implementation that _can't_ use the generated
level, since the Sokoban file format has been semi-standard from the
first Sokoban implementation, AFAIK.

Good point. Although "text-based" does not imply it uses full-screen

currently has 33 packages that have "curses-based" in their description.
