WebTiles is the latest online tile-based interface for DC:SS. It replaces the traditional Crawl ASCII presentation with tile graphics.
The more intuitiv representation of the game can make the game much more easy to learn. To play on one of the servers one only needs to create an account once. Afterwards login is possible from any computer with internet access (with your login data).
Thus it is possible to introduce new players to the game without the need to install the game and using a rather friendly representation (compared to rougelike games in general). WebTiles also allows to watch other players while they play their games and even chat with them during a game. This makes it great for teaching and helping other players (but still be wary of advice from people you do not know).
Webtiles also allows for playing in trunk or on older versions which can be attractive if you want to get a glimpse of crawl`s future or it`s history.
In general Webtiles is attractive for many players for one reason or another, there is nothing wrong with playing in private though.
WebTiles is currently available on the CAO, CSZO, CLAN and CBRO servers; pick the one closest to your location for minimal delay of your commands.
