Haha this is great, having an external program that watches a text file for changes and then writes to it, and forcing a text editor to not complain in order to make it merely an "ASCII based renderer" is a neat concept.
Also very interesting that the interaction with the game involves a sort of awkward GUI where you have to bring the cursor to the right spot and then type an 'x' in order to click.
This is a stellar example of a GAAUI. Graphical ASCII Art User Interface.
- chabad360 6y agoFrom what the video showed, it seems that some of the interaction in the game actually involves modifying or copying the "graphics" in the center window (to clean a window, or obtain an object for example). So it seems that he actually really developed this dynamic quite a lot. It really makes me want to play.
