bigscreen
i've also just acquired a big screen.... a VERY big screen in fact; an Acer AL2623W (26" of sheer widescreen joy) and have a 20" LG next to it.... *LOTS* of space for pretty tiles!

Hi everyone,
As far as I know, the tiles in TomeTik are from David Gervais. I really love them. Those tiles are the same as used in *AngbandTk. TomeTik has the drawback of only working on windows. Long ago, I ported it to linux, but the code never made it on the main project, mainly because I lost interest... In the progress of porting it, I had learned to like ascii, and did not look back since.
Still, those tiles look wonderful, and now that I have a big screen (meaning that I can set it to a resolution big enough to see to more than 4 tiles away), I could probably use some nice graphics.Leave a comment:

I've seen some Sangband screenshots that look a lot pretier than normal bigtile mode, but I'm not sure if they're current or the development version. You might want to investigate that.Leave a comment:

AngbandTk is essentially dead, 2.9.3 was the last version I think. There is no other "GUI" for Angband. I don't count just slapping tiles on the game here.
You should really learn how to enjoy ASCII mode
That said, TomeTik looks seriously cool. I wasn't aware it exists.
Looking at the screenshots makes me want to lick my monitor. But it's still tad less godd looking then Wesnoth.Leave a comment:

V with a Gooey... please!!
Just dropped back into *banding having had a dry spell for a while, and didn't feel like getting into anything too weird, and having just watched LoTR 1 2 & 3 in quick sucession on a projector at home, was quite in the mood for some V.
I am a '*bander of Weakness' (-2 credibility), as I can't deal with the text style, or crap graphics style *banding, and as such rely on the AngbandTk bunch, or TomeTik.
As far as I'm aware, none of the latest versions of V (beyond 2.9.2 which isn't very latest) look any good.... or am I missing something? So am currently killing off lots of human priestesses as I get back to grips with the dungeon, and thoroughly enjoying myself!
Would love an updated version tho..... is there something out there I should know about?
