Compatibility, Screenshots, and Videos

The version numbers provided tell which versions have been tested. NotEye might work with other versions or not.

Hydra Slayer 17.1/18.0 (integrated)

Hydra Slayer FPP	Hydra Slayer hex tiles	Hydra Slayer tiles	Hydra with hi-res font	Hydra isometric
Hydra isometric hex	Hydra Slayer in ASCII	Hydra mini-tiles	Hydra FPP hex	Hydra TPP

See also the animated hydras GIF (version 13.6).

You can also watch a Hydra Slayer video (note: the graphics are outdated).

Hydra Slayer is integrated to show the capabilities of NotEye (there is a complete tileset, you can see the game using square or hex tile graphics, first person or isometric perspective, and plain ASCII, you can control using mouse, select a font, and get very simple sound effects).

Brogue 1.5.1, 1.6.0, 1.7.0

Brogue with changed font	Brogue FPP	Brogue isometric	Brogue mini-tile	Brogue TPP
FPP with Oryx tiles	Isometric	Double mini-tiles	Larger tiles

NotEye takes Brogue's beautiful ASCII and well thought out gameplay into the next level. Oryx tiles and LazyCat's audio is included. See here for downloads, details, and a video.

nLarn 0.7.2

nLarn tiles

nLarn FPP

nLarn double-mini

Nlarn TPP

nLarn is a remake of the classic roguelike, Larn.

There are not that many items and monsters, so NotEye supports most of them (although most weapon and armor look exactly the same in ASCII, and the same will happen in NotEye).

Rogue

Rogue tiles

Rogue ISO

Rogue double-mini

The most classic roguelike. 26 monsters, and several types of items, I think all of them are recognized.

Works well with BSD rogue (I mean one from the BSD games package on Linux). Also recognizes Epyx Rogue 1.48, but keys are not transferred from NotEye to Rogue (probably Rogue uses some DOS method which is not supported).

DoomRL 0.9.9.5, 0.9.9.6

DoomRL FPP

DoomRL FPP 2

DoomRL FPP 3

DoomRL FPP 4

watch a DoomRL video

DoomRL is one of the most popular modern roguelikes. Traditionally ASCII only, but you could get the first person perspective via NotEye, which feels very appropriate for DoomRL. Since 0.9.9.6 it also has very nice graphics, and hopefully in the future it will include a 3D version, better than what NotEye can offer :)
Of course 0.9.9.6 and later need to be played in the console mode (edit DoomRL's config file). Only the basic icons (I have no permission to use the official DoomRL tiles).

Drakefire Chasm (7DRL version)

Breathing fire

ISO

Mini-tiles

Drakefire Chasm is quite a good 7DRL from 2012. I think that the tileset covers everything, and you get mouse movement (as well as streaming and NotEye's other usual features). Tested with Drakefire Chasm under Wine, with NotEye running under Linux (I could not get fullscreen in Linux otherwise).

NetHack 3.4

NetHack ISO

NetHack FPP

One of the major roguelikes. This is a big game, and currently has only minimal support (walls and items).

There are much better solutions for NetHack available (such as Vulture), but one good thing about NotEye is that you can run NetHack via one of the available NetHack servers (Telnet and SSH work via NotEye).

ADOM 1.2.0

ADOM FPP (old)

ADOM Tiles (old)

ADOM TPP (new)

ADOM 1.2.0 uses NotEye as its display engine. Download (or buy) ADOM to check it out! (Two first images are old.) See also the blog for more screenshots.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup 0.8

Crawl FPP

Crawl tiles

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup is one of the most popular modern major roguelikes. Only the basic icons, because it is probably better to play Crawl Tiles anyway. Maybe it would be possible to add a NotEye server to the Tiles version, which would allow to use NotEye's other graphical modes and networking capabilities with it.

Frozen Depths 1.04

Frozen Depths tiles

Frozen Depths FPP

Frozen Depths FPP 2

A cold-themed roguelike. Basic icons only.

TopDog (7DRL version)

Dialog

FPP

ISO

Mini-tiles

Another 7DRL from 2012. Basic icons. TopDog displays some information on the screen, and NotEye cannot interpret it correctly yet. Tested on Linux 64-bit.

PRIME 1.10

PRIME is a variant of Zapm. The developers of PRIME are currently working on a graphical version via the NotEye library. Download from the PRIME website to check it out.

Gruesome, Unstoppable, Toby the Trapper, ChessRogue

These four small ASCII games work somewhat well with NotEye.

You can also play a Generic Roguelike, which should provide default support for most system console (e.g. Curses) roguelikes (using DOS fonts and going fullscreen should always work), and try to connect to Libtcod 1.5.1 roguelikes (see the libtcod replacement later). You are invited to provide more complete tilesets for these or other roguelikes!
