      No longer in the terminal. It’s been around so long it’s evolved, and no longer totally cripples your pc when you generate a world.

        afaik you can still run the free version from the website with TEXT mode and ncurses completely in the terminal without a DE (but you have to spoof X).

        If not the newest one, then the last one (v47).

          Touché. Obviously the author either is an uncultured swine and a dicknosed douche-canoe, or they’re a young’n and don’t know/appreciate the metal-melting power of DF.

        Several emulation programs do actually have a terminal renderer. Impossible to tell what’s going on unless you’re intimately familiar with the game, but it’s neat to see.

        It uses DRM/KMS to enable OpenGL (and probably Vulkan too) on the console without needing a display server like Xorg or Wayland. Or if that’s too blasphemous for you, there is a libcaca driver.
