Quit option

[Grey]

I often create chars just to try things out, or simply get bored of a new guy after a couple of levels or some bad luck. Currently the only way to quit is to suicide against a monster, or to save&close then come back in and delete. Both are a nuisance. Any chance of a quit option in the game menu? It should come up with a yes/no prompt along the lines of "Are you sure you want to quit? Your character will be lost forever."

Or you could simply save&exit and then create a new character with the same name?

Ehm, what's exactly wrong with saving and going back to the menu, then deleting the character from there

Takes friggin' ages? Very inconvenient to do in my opinion. Every game has a quit option - why not ToME?

[Feanor.81]

I usually do it this way: Right click on taskbar -> Start Task Manager -> right click on t-engine.exe -> End Process

Oh well, guess a (k)ill player option in the Esc Menu wouldn't hurt

[Grey]

That doesn't kill the character. Indeed, as far as I know that's the way to savescum.

I think "kill player" option would hurt. On the other hand, "kill character" is a good idea.

A way to hard quit in tome that doesn't involve the task manager would be tremendously helpful for when the game locks up. Preferably that little X in the upper right corner for us windows users. Alt-f4 or something would be good, too.

More on the OP, a suicide option would be nice, yeah. On the flip side, I'd call it a pretty low key thing -- it's fairly easy to just kamikaze yourself on a worm swarm or something. Little bit more time involved, but less than going through the quit-delete process. Still, less keypresses = better, 90% of the time. Cutting out that extra time involved would be a good thing.
