which Variants have graphics?

Sky · September 20, 2017, 20:00

are there any other variants out there with graphics / tiles? i'm looking to move from V for a while but really cannot cope with the ASCII gameplay.

FAangband has graphics (and also many wilderness levels).

PWMAngband too, and you can even use NotEYE to play as 3D FPP.

All of them. Graphics go way back.

i tried PWMangband but it wouldn't connect to the server. and i'm not sure about Gwarl's answer but i think he's trying to be funny.

Just play locally with the options REPORT_TO_METASERVER = false and TURN_BASED = true. Don't forget to launch both executables (mangband + mangclient).

Seriously name one and I'll tell you whether it has graphics. I bet it has.

MAngband and TomeNET don't have graphics, they're based on a version of the Angband code where graphics were broken.

Well, the better question is still 'which variants don't have graphics' rather than 'which variants have graphics' which is what I was trying to get across.

i haven't really tried many since, well, 2007. back when tiles were a new thing. i think back then only V and FA had graphics. Is Z still ASCI-only ?
