About

''' This is a project that is designed to create an RPG game using Unicode characters as ASCII art, instead of using raw ASCII. This effectively makes the display ANSI art, rather than ASCII art.

Support for RGB colors is required for the best experience, but a plain terminal should do fine. + A monospaced font supporting a high number of Unicode characters is highly recommended, as that will allow the maps to render properly.

A QWERTY layout or similar keyboard/keymap is highly recommended for a proper experience A treminal size of 103 cols x 30 lines is recommended for the maps to display correctly.

NOTE: This project was built with Rust version 1.30.0, but should work with any future versions.
