This is a nice WIP!  I love the old fashioned text layout and everything is cohesive.  It took me a few minutes to figure out what was going on, but once I realized there is kind of a swap between the larger map and smaller zoomed in rooms, I was impressed.  It might be nice to allow 8 directional movement with the numpad since many old school roguelikes have that.  Good luck with the project!

Thanks, but unfortunately, like many others of my projects, I've abandoned this.  Actually it looks like your message was almost a year ago.  Apologies for not replying.  Working on a new project now.
