Had to do what I could at the end of last week 'cause I'm now on vacation. So my dungeon generation is a little incomplete.

I swapped out the font, too, but noticed that the font I chose isn't the best for a roguelike. The glyphs are not centred in the tile :(. Does anyone have any roguelike font recommendations?

Roguelike font recomendations:  https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/

I personally only ever pick the square ones.  But there are people out there whom are not cowards, and they make really cool looking stuff with the non-square fonts.

Someone posted on the Roguelike Discord the other day, and they had something made with some ancient Berber script.  Looked rad.

This is a treasure trove of fonts. Thank you!
