Windows Console build

Game Talk The Bunker

Hi All,

So I’m wondering if it’s possible to revamp the Windows “console,” build to actually be a console application. As it stands now, it seems to run in a graphical window, which makes playing with Windows screen readers kind of hard.

Is it possible to build with, say, PDCurses in console mode, so it actually runs in a command prompt? This might not look as good, but it would make things a lot easier as I try to introduce other blind players to the game. Other RL’s, like NetHack, seem to do this already.

Thanks for any thoughts :slight_smile:

i’m certainly not an authority on the topic, but from what i understand the game only emulates a console due to how much re-writing and missing features there would be if a real one was used.
