About AsciiMason

Overview
AsciiMason is a free and simple online webtool for creating, playing, and sharing ASCII-art style RPGs. AsciiMason is the brainchild and summer project of me, Ikebot. AsciiMason runs on the p5js javascript library, but coding experience is not required to use it.

Features

 * Create large, colorful, living, breathing worlds
 * Whether you're building a wondrous fantasy village teeming with magic or an expansive, bustling space station of the future, AsciiMason can be as simple or advanced as you need it to be.
 * Fast and simple map creation
 * Easily paint objects into the world by creating and using object templates. With a chunk-based system for loading and unloading objects, you can make the world quite large without performance suffering.
 * Dialogue tree creation
 * An intuitive system for creating and managing dialogue trees.
 * Layer system akin to image editors like Photoshop

 * Simple controls
 * Games made with AsciiMason are more player-accessible than any ASCII-art style game to come before, with the player only having to learn one button (yes, just one button!) plus the directional keys. (That's WASD and E for a total of five keys)
