Hello everyone,

I've decided that making a roguelike in JS would be a fun way to learn how to apply what I've read.
This is silly, but I don't know what to call it when all of the text is displayed in block text, like in notebook.

This is obviously important to display the map correctly and I don't even know how to display that sort of text, or even what to google it as to look for help.

Not a particularly proud momment for me.

So how do you display block letters and what would be the proper name for it for future reference?

for starters, JS is not responsible how text is displayed to you. JS is merely a programming language that can create output to several output devices (like the Console or a HTML page in a browser). How to display the output there is the responsibility of that device.

so, for example to display ASCII art in a web page, you need a "monospace" font (e.g. Courier) and a pre-formatted text display (to retain the spaces), which can be done either through CSS or the HTML <pre> tag.

MONOspace.

Thank you very much.
I feel slightly less dim now.
