Release: Necklace of the Eye roguelike frontend, version 3.0

[Z]

Necklace of the Eye (NotEye in short) is an frontend to modify the output
of console roguelikes. (That is, roguelikes which use the Windows console
to draw the stuff. Does not work with those which create their own ASCII
displays.) It currently has the following features:

* Tested under MS Windows and Linux

* Show the game using a tile or First Person Perspective (FPP) display

* Display the roguelike just like it would be displayed in DOS, using the
  correct font, colors, and full screen (note: if you need only this
  feature, you might also use the simpler utility cons2tcod)

* Move your character using mouse

* A menu from which you can choose one of several games to play

* Take screenshots in several formats: BMP (image), HTML (for webpages),
  and phpBB (used by for many kinds of online forums)

* Lua scripting, allowing lots of flexibility in adapting NotEye to new
  roguelikes, giving additional features to the game (e.g., automatic
  creation of characters), or even creating new roguelikes in NotEye 

Hydra Slayer 12.9 is included to show the capabilities of NotEye (there
is a complete tileset, you can see the game using square or hex tile
graphics, first person perspective, and plain ASCII, you can move and
switch weapons using mouse). Also very basic configurations are provided
for ADOM, Crawl, DoomRL, and Frozen Depths. These include most ground
and wall tiles, other things are shown with ASCII. You are invited to
provide more complete tilesets for these or other roguelikes! Some
people don't play these great games just because they cannot stand ASCII.
Creating tilesets for them would be helpful.
