IRC: BenderIRC Update V1.b12 with smiley icons
The IRC client "BenderIRC" now comes with a new graphical feature. It replaces
the smileys commonly used in chats like :-) with little icons. The character
sequences to be replaced can be defined freely, as can the corresponding
graphics. Thus other texts can be replaced with graphics, too, so one is not
limited to smileys.
The first set of icons is already contained in the BenderIRC archive, but can
also be viewed on the newly designed web site.
Download: BenderIRC.lha,

Thus you have the possibility of making your own backgrounds and game characters.

It would also be nice if some users have fun in creating new level designs.
