If you haven\u2019t already, try enabling multiple consoles \u2013 ALL of them \u2013 and then try out different options \/ combinations. Being able to view a lot of information simultaneously at a glance is a considerable benefit over having to be diligent enough to manually check each relevant screen each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, change the text size. Sure you may be accustomed to your terminal font and size for reading; however, you can read and make sense from context a lot easier than you can reliably identify the glyph, color, and relative position of every character on the screen. Angband may be a text-based game, but you don\u2019t have to play with a tiny (or even normal size font). Using a slightly larger font makes identifying things a LOT easier. The SDL interface is perhaps the easiest for using multiple terminals and changing fonts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This alone has greatly contributed to my survivability!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Angband offers a LOT of information on a LOT of different screens.
