So, I'm thinking about writing a roguelike game. I know there are a shitton of threads about it, my question is different: is curses still a good choice? More modern alternatives? Should I go C or C++? Also, willing to listen to suggestions regarding the project.

OP here. Glad the thread turned into ELITE LISP TROLLFEST, anyway I've been reading the serious suggestions and it seems that ncurses would still be a good choice. SDL looks nice to work with ( LOL N00B ), so what about using SDL_ttf for the text mode? It's pretty portable too ( not as portable as ncurses but whatever ). Language will most likely be C, if you faggots don't give me a good reason to choose another.
