While on the subject of MUDs, are there any that work well with just
speech and don't have an excessive amount of white space that makes
keeping horizontal spacing of objects hard to follow?
Not sure if any of them were actually MUDs, but I've tried a few
terminal dungeon crawlers that use a grid of ascii characters to
represent the part of the dungeon map visible to the player, but I
found that with most of most maps being open space represented by
whitespace characters and the tedium of using screen review to try to
figure out the spacing between objects on the same row sucked the fun
out of the experience.
And while I suspect a Braille display could help with parsing
board/map spacing in games that use grids of Ascii characters, I don't
own one, don't have the money for one, and my Braille reading speed is
such a Braille display would be practically useless for reading normal
text.
