The area available for the player and loot and suchlike is about 50 characters by 22 characters, so I could include a pretty large ascii art, but it seems to work better with many smaller ones. Here is the output from the game, one of the rooms: Monster X, in Park , it's Hour 14 / Tick 32 In this room: * Ross God * Monster X * Oak Tree * Iron Shield Take * Leather Armor Take Actions: Inventory Town Square +----------------------+ +-----------------------+ | | | .-. | | 0 _(o o)_ | | \/|\ / (=) \ | | / \ / /| |\ \ | | " / _ \ " | | /_/ \_\ | | | + + E S a t * * ___ /\__/\ s o * * \| * * / _ \ / \ t r + *_\ \ | |/_* | |_| | \/| |\/ + e | \\||// \___/ |__| | P | | | | a | | O| | r | | k | | | | | | | | | | +----------------------+ +-----------------------+ Cemetary So, the smaller the better. The chests you sent are quite good, an nice rounded improvement on my boxy one. Thanks for the help! Diane. P.S. Someone else wrote in about RougeLike game development (is that a game with makeup?) but after looking it over, the rouge model seems not well suited for an HTML based game.
