#2This is great, thanks for sharing it. I started a Rust project awhile ago to do something similar but based on a boardgame. It was fun but I didn't keep up with it. I'll try to get back at it using this as inspiration!

#3Are there commercially successful roguelikes that use ascii art only? Dwarf Fortress is the only one I know of and it's getting an official makeover for the Steam release.

DF is not commercial yet. Partial list of successful roguelikes with ascii:
- rogue - (net)hack - moria, angband, etc

cogmind has done pretty well even if a bit niche. not pure ascii but pretty close, like df. really excellent game, as well.

Don't forget ADOM, though it now has graphical tiles too.

Not ascii technically but close: caves of qud.

I don't know about roguelikes success (Cogmind comes to mind), but I can tell you that ASCII games can be successful if you have a good idea. For example, I spent about 2 months making Rogue Bit just over a year ago:

And it sold over 25000 copies so far.
