The bug fix or feature would be nice but doesn't currently have much negative impact.

This issue is about other Swarm issues or infrastructure.
I, for one, appreciate the TUI aesthetic, and prefer it as the "first-class" supported means to experience the game.
However, it would be interesting to explore swappable frontends for the game. #1043 is one prerequisite for this. Figuring out #1415 is another.
We should ask on the Brick issue tracker/forum if anyone has explored the migration path from Brick to graphics (e.g. SDL). Dwarf Fortress is a case study in this exercise.
Alternatively what would a completely web-based interface entail? Would the "world" rendering consist of character glyphs, or just a monolithic painted canvas? Would we have to use a streaming video format?
