Claude Code in dwarf fortress would be wild



Given dwarf fortress has an ASCII interface it may actually be a lot easier to set up claude to work with it. Also, a lot of the challenges of dwarf fortress is just knowing all the different mechanics and how they work which is something claude should be good at.


And it’s (Claude) almost certainly accumulated a fair amount of knowledge about the game itself, given the number of tutorials, guides, and other resources that have been written about DF over the last two decades.


Unfortunately it's rendering ASCII characters as sprites using SDL, so it's not really a text interface.
