Well, looking forward to see how this develops, keep working and don't get discouraged!

To get the nice gradient, use [color=#hexnum ][ /color]
aaaa

That is likely how Toady does the varying shades of doing.

And how my sig works.

Sounds great Alfie, can't wait to see what you will do.

[alfie275]

New version up.

[alfie275]

Menu will be out for a while till I can figure out a way of doing it.

I use the same thing with the "Planepacked" rendering progress, whenever that gets more progress.

Spoiler: How I handled it (click to show/hide)

It pretty much goes (by %, hex code beneath):
0- black
000000
25- red
ff0000
50- yellow
FFff00
75- green
ffFF00
100- cyan
00FFff
125- blue font, cyan glow
00ffFF 00ffff

And the reason for the capital and lower cases is basically for changing it.            
ff = variable (gradual Increase/decrease)
FF = Constant (what wont change)

To get the more precise amounts, I usually use Excel to work it out, and that gets a little zany (working with 255 = 100%, and converting DEC>HEX, and setting anchor points to serve as sub-100%s); however, the end result is a pretty gradual change between colors which shows up well when displaying progress.

I can always upload the Excel file I used for it. Easier than explaining the formulas I used.

New version out.

[Alexhans]

suggestion... compress your .exe's with rar or zip formats.

I'll try it when I get home.

[alfie275]

Oops, forgot to update title.

[Outcast Orange]

Is the blinking cursor supposed to blinking cursor?

I killed all the ducks in the room.
I long for more random homicide.
Looking forward to it.

[alfie275]

Just noticed that auto-attack doesnt work on randomly placed creatures, will be fixed in next release.

[alfie275]

0.023 released.

[Outcast Orange]

Got it. Expect a review later, when I take my break.

[Alexhans]

You should eliminate the blinking cursor at some point...

Adding a specific seed for the level generation is interesting.  Do you plan to do something with it?
