Tiles or ASCII?

(1/6) > >>

runequester:
Do you prefer the graphical tiles, or ASCII for Doom RL? What about other roguelikes?


I tend not to mind ASCII, though for DOom RL, I do use the tiles, as they're so well done.
For Angband, I always play with ascii, even though they have a new tile set that's really good.

ParaSait:
ASCII.
The DoomRL tile mode is very well done, both graphically and program-wise, but for RLs I've just never been a fan of tiles in general.

Also the fact that running under the tileset doesn't put the whole floor on the screen at once.

Juice:
I prefer tiles over ascii both for doom and for nethack. I' just way tooo bad in ascii and I don't really want to spend the time learning to play on ascii properly..

Bloax:
ASCII is fine for DoomRL, since there's not a lot to memorize and as said - it shows the entire floor at once.

Though for something much bigger like Crawl I'd take tiles any day.
