I think the thread should probably be locked by this point. The thing isn't being used or maintained, and all anyone ever does is ask about deleting implemented features.

I've done my best to manage the suggestions under my control, but it's relatively few.
I could probably go in and un-already-worked-on them all at this point, but it was mostly there to be like "hey, this saw progress, try highlighting other things for a while"

(Lol, my profile images are dead)

We'll be taking that as a no, then.

Are people still using this poll? Been no replies to this thread for over a year and some of the top suggestions seem to be outdated (second most popular is "full graphics support")

Lighting.

Gypsum Plaster.

Sprites.

Sound.

Console.

FPS.

Mode.

humble suggestion. never lose the ASCII mode.... never.

I mean, was Toady ever seriously considering dropping it in the first place? Considering ASCII's been a cornerstone of the game since its inception and many fans still prefer it, he'd basically be shooting himself in the foot by doing away with it entirely.

Well, ASCII in a terminal window is no longer available on Linux and I'm willing to bet it will never come back.  The current display is just too wide to really work well.  I'm also thinking that the current ASCII mode (which has problems precisely because the display is too wide), will eventually morph to essentially a graphics set that uses ASCII characters as the pictures.  Ideally, it will have all the old ASCII features, but that the map tiles and UI tiles will have different fonts (and font metrics).  However, that's a fairly big departure from the original ASCII game.

I still use the ASCII graphics on a Steam Deck OLED in desktop mode, with external monitor keyboard and mouse, I get to see twice as much of the map on one screen as in graphics mode, besides 14 years of training my mind to watch thoes grey "g" advancing across the map are still usefull.
