Nobody ever worked on this as far as I know, it's been proposed before
but not seriously.

It would be difficult to squash all the different states of a tile
into a single ASCII symbol, I think.  Can you make a design?

Such a design can be verified by making a sav2ascii translator to
generate ASCII representations of the map for arbitrary savegames.

There aren't very many developers.
