freakishly, the game actually uses opengl to display the grid of character sprites...

  there's an ncurses mode in the linux version. i use it to play over ssh, as my laptop is weak. the opengl is mainly for tileset support.

    Oh god there is a Linux version now? Which means I can play it under screen? or from my iPad? Thanks, there goes all my free time.

      ipad play is probably wonky as df is heavily keyboard-based, but let me know how that goes.

  It has half a dozen rendering modes too, due to various driver bugs and GPU performance profiles. There are massive threads on the forum of people trying different settings to squeeze out a few more FPS, especially on lower end hw.
