Programming / AWT/Swing/SWT Console for Java

« on: July 12, 2008, 03:57:56 PM »

Hi,
    I know a lot of you program in java and have some sort of GUI console implementation (I'm looking for something similar to Legerdemain's solution - unfortunatly it seems it is not open source so I can't just use his implementation).  Any tips/links?

Traditional Roguelikes (Turn-based) / Castlevaniarl tiles

Are the tiles used in castlevaniarl original work? Are they public domain? Can they be reused in other games?

Programming / fov: radial or square?

« on: February 08, 2008, 10:09:27 PM »

I currently use radial fov in cryptrover, but am thinking about changing it.

Radial looks nicer, but causes all kinds on annoyances because it doesn't reveal the 'edges'.
Logically it also makes less sense, since diagonal movement in the game is not more expensive than straight movement.

Which do you think is better?
