Hail Swarmalicious,
I'm pretty sure that this forum software is not very friendly to ASCII graphics, so I cannot draw you an example, but it's images created from standard ASCII characters - your keyboard characters make up the greater number of these, though there's a few others (eg accented characters, etc). Walls are typically made of things like | and _ while your character may be an @ or something. Look up NetHack or (Z)Angband, or any other Rogue clone if you want to see some screenies of this.

May the wind pick up your heels and your sword strike true.
