MINIMAP SURVEY
If you'd like to see a little ascii map of your surroundings you can "toggle minimap" to turn it on. Turning off the COMPASS is suggested when using the minimap to save screen space. The map is a rough "line of sight" map that looks in the cardinal directions from where you are. You can't see through doors and the distance you can see is based on factors such as if it's light outside, or bad weather, or perhaps if you're sitting on the ground. It also doesn't let you see as far when you're inside or underground, for example. Drow and Deurgar see farther at night and less far in the day, opposite from everyone else. Note, the graphical representation isn't accurate or even meant to be because in this magical world, distances are often warped, magical fields create confusion, and sometimes rooms connect only in one direction so the minimap is a only rough approximation. Additionally, there is a SURVEY command that lets you see a broader area, but there's a delay associated and it uses some stamina.
