Do people prefer # or solid walls in Angband?

#'s here all the way. Even the variants were solid walls are working under Vista, I change them back.

I play without graphics, and only with solid walls if possible. I hate those '#' wall symbols, but can't really explain why. Just my taste I guess...

<heresy> I wonder how angband would look with nethack-style line walls... pretty snazzy, I imagine. </heresy>

SDL seems nice in some ways, but I wish I could get it to "save" my screen layout. I like to play with messages, monster-list and item-list in subwindows, and everytime I fire it up I have to create the 3 subwindows and place/size them. I didn't see any commandline options... am I missing something?

Mine automatically writes a file ~/.angband/Angband<or whatever variant>/sdlinit.txt which has all the window and geometry settings. I guess this depends on your install setup; I just have a directory for each variant in my home, and run the executables from there.

You mean with each room lined with swords and rods?

When I play on a pc, I prefer the solid walls. On the mac, I prefer the number signs. The mac renders text differently. Go figure.

Well these wouldn't be exactly equivalent to nethack walls (i.e., they don't span the entire width or length of a tile), would they? One could also muss with color. And Un manages to press on despite a bit of confusion b/w terrain and non-terrain.

Still, I suppose it's not worth exploring. After all, a bad idea costs nothing.

#'s PLEASE! I love the #'s!

(at the very least give us the option to play with the #'s...)

You can choose any sign as walls.

**pndrev** · January 9, 2009, 16:19

14-10 is much closer than I expected.

You can choose D for walls if you're looking to scare yourself

I just tried 3.10, and the #'s seem so... Impressionistic.

How do I change back to solid walls??
