Introduction

I think I'm finally ready to release this to the public, so here goes.
BEARWASDEAD is a tileset and color scheme that I made for myself out of total dissatisfaction with other available tilesets (as I imagine every tileset comes into existence). The tileset was made from scratch with a loose basis on a monospaced font by the name of Gohufont. I'm now releasing this set as complete under creative commons license. Feel free to take, use, and modify as desired.



Design Goals

When setting out on making this set, I gave myself a set of design goals:
    1. Text must be easily readable
    2. Overall design shouldn't deviate too far from Curses
    3. Graphical icons should reflect their most common use
    4. The tileset should be usable without extra utilities or tools

I believe I've hit these goals, but I'm always open to feedback and suggestions (many changes have been made over time based on feedback in the past).



Variants & Examples

 There are 4 variants of BEARWASDEAD:
  • 16px w/ some graphics (this is the recommended set)
  • 16px pure ASCII
  • 13px w/ some graphics (recommended for small screens)
  • 13px pure ASCII
Some example screenshots can be found below.
