Following up on my thread "Commercial Angband fork using lib/gamedata" I would like to build Angband as a DLL. Then override the rendering system to use Unity instead, with a custom isometric tileset that I provide inside the Unity game engine.
Should I use /* Hardcode the no graphics option */ to stop the Angband renderer? It looks like removing the tiles from tiles/list.txt would do this?
It seems like the right place to intercept the renderer is override void redraw_stuff(struct player *p). However, a lot is happening in errr Term_fresh(void). I believe it's mapping from what the player perceives to what is drawn, and I still need that to happen. I think the final output to render is written to term->src?
On further thought, rather than trying to figure out the code, I let it use use ASCII graphics but pipe the output as an array of characters to to Unity. I would still need to separate UI vs. tiles, and intercept keypresses and mouse clicks.
I know this is kind of a general set of questions, but any advice on a starting point would help.
