These really are just the highlights, we incorporated literally hundreds of changes since 0.5.
Catacurses is our internal library for mapping linux-style terminal drawing commands to the windows system. It works surprisingly well, but it’s a bit slow. The SDL version uses the Simple DirectMedia Layer library to render the text. Reports are that this makes for much faster rendering on windows systems, also the font support is a little different from the curses version.
My apologizes for posting twice in this thread, as I’m not really if this is considered a double-post or not, but have giant ants been weakened? Last version, I couldn’t barely kill one with a baseball bat, now I killed two dozen with a half-full bottle of water.
well until the devs decide it’s okay maybe bout 2-3 releases after the kickstarter is successful and mainline projects/additions and fixes are finished.
And if I’m not mistaken, the updates are coming faster too.
