Ascii bitmaps and skills

I am still working hard on a new release. I am adding new features and ideas all the time. I have recently added skills for characters and skill progression. Players can become better at weapons and armour as well as magic. Other skills like trap detection and disarming have yet to be added, but may make an appearance in the next version.
The ASCII version of the game now uses bitmaps instead of the freetype library. This give the graphics a much more standard roguelike look which I hope players will appreciate. I will post some new screen shots soon.
Also I forgot to thank Christopher Barrett for his efforts in creating some original tile graphics for the game. I am very pleased with these as they compliment the original set well.
