I've had to quit playing Qwitzatteracht. The golf game is great, but its explicit ASCII graphics make my graphics card overheat.

- mewmew07 3y agoThat's probably because you have your graphics settings set to use Unicode character space. Try lowering your setting to ASCII, or Latin-1 if you're in west Europe. For those with embedded graphics it may even be necessary to drop non-alphanumeric chars.
- Tepix 3y agoThanks! I've found a way to reduce the system requirement some more by switching from ASCII to 5-bit Murray code. Qwitzatteracht is drawing less than 10 watts now at a buttery smooth 50fps! I have plans to go full morse to get it to run on my smartwatch.
- ethbr0 3y agoI know some newer Qwitzatteracht players prefer using graphical tilesets, but I think they take away the charm. To me, the ASCII explicit mode takes me back to the 1970s VT100 days, when I played my first Qwitzatteracht golf games.
