- devindotcom 6y agoOh man. I've been fantasizing about an ASCII-based windowed UI like this for years. I want this to be a real thing.
- bitwize 6y agoASCII-based windowed UIs were things, especially Turbo Vision and the like for DOS. The game's UI reminds me of certain old DOS programs that predate even Turbo Vision, notably COMPRESS (actually a disk defragger, not a compression program) which would put up a text-based "graphical" representation of your disk and animate the blocks being shifted around, in a format that was legible even on an IBM MDA monitor for true monochrome cyber goodness.
