Tileset
A tileset is a set of graphical tiles used in roguelikes to substitute the regular ASCII graphics, creating a GUI. It works by defining a set graphical tile for every symbol and object in the game. Graphical tilesets are often beneficial to new roguelike players who are not accustomed to the usual graphics-free style roguelikes are presented in. NetHack's DevTeam has created an official tileset for their official graphical client, and Angband has exceptional support for tile customization. Using tilesets provides the same top-down view as ASCII graphics and should not be confused with separate clients using 3D graphics (such as Falcon's Eye), which are a separate system entirely.
