One interface consideration here is that tiles players are less likely to know the ASCII character representing a monster class, so a prompt like "Are you sure you want to genocide all 'h' monsters?" probably won't save a dwarven adventurer from genociding themselves even with the confirmation. Personally, I don't think a paranoid option to handle it is the best solution - the way I'd do it is to remove the fuzzy matching and re-prompt until the player enters something unambiguous (or until hitting a "That's enough tries!" case, whatever). For instance, uncursed and cursed genocide should require the entire string to match a monster species, so "master mnd flayer" won't work. Blessed genocide should require the string to match either a monster class symbol or its string description, so entering a single species won't work. |
