However, I will be doing three pieces of research to try to figure this out, and they will be carried out in order.

#ANGBAND COMIC CODE#

Unfortunately this does mean that any file containing alt-codes pretty much needs to have the code file created separately from the generator's editing environment. Also once the alt-coded character has been inserted through the code file, you cannot do any editing to it through the pen file or the alt-coded character will be removed, possibly with others. Typing an alt-coded character through the edit panel will just get removed the moment the edit panel loses focus. Alt-coded characters seem to get through on the new version if you type the alt-coded characters in directly into the code file _AND_ have to assign a color to it.

My research has shown that while the new version of the app at alt.org does not support alt-codes, the old version might have since there were two reported incidents of comics being approved by admins that contained the yen character, which requires an alt-code.

#ANGBAND COMIC HOW TO#

So anyways, I've basically been trying to figure out how to generate a Dudley's Dungeon comic containing Alt-codes. I've been doing too much reading on character encoding.

#ANGBAND COMIC WINDOWS#

It's basically the character set that includes the standard ASCII characters and all the Windows alt code characters, although in further reading on the subject, I started getting really confused between code page 437 and code page 850 but I am just going to assume alt codes are mapped to code page 437 at that is that and I will not even attempt to figure out what the 0-prefixed ones are mapped to, even though it would be a straight forward article lookup on Wikipedia. if it ever finishes, as you'll find out from the upcoming problem description.) So turns out the game I am trying to make reference to in my comic makes heavy use of characters found in the Windows OEM Code. (What exactly it is will be revealed when the comic is finished. The thing is, for my first comic, I wanted to see how a die-hard NetHack community reacts to a cross-rouge-like game reference, and not just to another game that's been already used quite a bit like Angband.

#ANGBAND COMIC GENERATOR#

It was then I ran into my first issue with the second version of the generator which actually caused me to learn a lot about character encoding. (I do realize there is a another second generation host of Dudley's Dungeon but he didn't appear to change the generator in any way from Dion's.) So I decided I wanted to make a comic. I mean god damn, how do some of these guys ascend in over half of their games?) So I am looking through these and thinking these are awesome and wondering who makes them, only to realize that the comics are user submitted through a generator known as Dudley D-I-Y or diydudley.php, originally written by the host of the first generation of Dudley's Dungeon webcomics, Dion Nicolaas, and the current version made and maintained by paxed. (Okay, so I actually saw the player statistics first. So the first thing I saw actually when I stumbled across alt.org was the Dudley's Dungeon webcomic there. If he ever plays on a public server, it's but he usually plays on the in-house servers hosted by Computer Science House at RIT, as he is a member of the organization. However, his primary server to play on is not a public one. Although he rarely installs NetHack thanks to servers hosting the game. He is a lazy fuck who actually rarely plays NetHack but enjoys rouge-like games and has NetHack as the only game fit to be played on his mobile cellular device (which is quite a complement as few apps reach the quality requirements for being installed on his root-less Motorola Droid). It really depends on what is allowed for the given context. Grg-n-Sox, also known as Grg with optional underscores on either side.
