    in fact - playng other RL such as Nethack and Crawl in ASCII mode makes me feel sick.
    I like to use ADOM in ascii and the others with that terrible walls |__|, doors | and tunnels ### (!) in graphic mode.

    IMHO, such graph interfaces can help to fans of differ RL to estimate adom.

    Yeah, ADOM's ASCII looks more appealing than other roguelikes for some reason. Maybe TB chose very good colours (out of 16).

    Heh, this looks pretty cool, Zeno. I'd suggest making the 3D 'k's and other characters smaller and with bigger borders to distinguish them more. It doesn't look particularly enjoyable to play in that mode, but it's very fun regardless.

    I'm curious to try this with Gruesome and Toby the Trapper...

    ADOM's and Legerdemain's ASCII are very nice. Crawl's and Dwarf Fortress's are OK. Nethack's and Rogue's, with its | walls and its # tunnels, sucks donkey bollocks IMHO.

    This looks like an interesting little program. It would never replace vanilla Adom for me, but I would probably use it sometimes.

    Unhappy

    Does not work for me at all. It's requesting some DLL files.

    Dwarf Fortress ASCII freaks me out. I have to play with a tileset just to understand what's going on. For some reason, however, ADOM's ASCII graphics just have a sort of *Click!* in my brain and I'm in love with them.

    Total agreement with grey on Dwarf forteress. which is why i never seiusly played the game.
    As for nethack, it doesn't suck. It's just different, and kinda... well, adapted, too. But favorite, personally, are angband's ones. THEY make you understan all the wonderfully exciting things that happen there .

    I have released a new version of NotEye.

    As Grey suggested, ASCII characters used as tiles now have bigger outlines. (Although the screenshots are still old.) I also added the missing SDL files, which should help Laukku's problems, and possibly also Soirana's.

    Also it works faster now, which should help those who want to use it just as a console replacement, without any graphics.
