Mucking with an editor now.

General Discussion / The Music!
« Last post by Ozrr on February 14, 2020, 02:05:11 pm »First off -> What a great game! There's just something that "clicks" with the graphics, controls and challenges. And to make this out of these materials - ASCII charset and terminal - is just beautiful!
Also, I'm hooked on the music! Where is it from? Where can I get it? Is it too much to ask to put it on spotify?

Development Progress / Re: Fixed bug under Linux - no keyboard input in gnome terminals
« Last post by gumix on September 03, 2019, 09:28:02 am »Hi,
What terminal did you try? I've just checked xterm - indeed, there's such problem.
Any chance to check different one?
... I'll look into it tomorrow.

Development Progress / Prepare for 1.5
« Last post by gumix on August 29, 2019, 12:18:37 pm »Next version (1.5) will be playable on no-kbd devices also known as mobile phones and tables.
AP will be 'installable' from web a browser as PWA (Progressive Web Application).
That forced me to add new soft keyboard:
Hope you guys can type your name using it
Menu navigation:
- tap on module to hilight it, tap away to deactivate it.
- swipe up/down starting from outside of active module (if any) to scroll menu
- tap or swipe on active module to interact with it
Few obvious hints:
- start playing by tapping on 'Play Campaign' then tap again on campaign map
- edit your name by tapping 'Player Profile' then tap again on 'Name' element
- edit your avatar by tapping on different parts of the portrait
Game play:
You need 2 hands, each armed with at least 1 finger!
Using left hand finger you control:
- braking (hold your finger at left of 1/6 screen's width)
- accelerate (hold your finger between 2/6 and 1/2 of screen's width
- crouch (hold your finger at the bottom of left screen's half)
Right hand fingers can:
- fire (tap at lower-right quarter of screen)
- jump (tap at upper-right quarter of screen)
- exit to menu (tap at the upper right corner of the screen)
So good luck, let's have some finger-gym

Thank you for your post, sounds like you're an ASCII connoisseur!
It is great to hear you are working on ascii game project too. I'd love to see your progress!
