Hey, I'm considering developing a roguelike single player RPG in BYOND, and I want it to have a retro feel to it, so I decided to go with classic ASCII icons (Codepage 437).
Now, i've been considering a few different methods to do this. I could use icons that look like characters, but I think that's kinda cheating (: P), so I'd rather use text.
I tried using the text-mode for the map, but the icons were far too large and there's no way to color code different mobs/turfs.
So, is there any way I can render turfs/objs/mobs as text easily, or will I have to use icons? D:
