Development continues

Since the comp officially finished I've been working on the game some more. Stuff I've already done, mostly addressing the feedback from the judges (thanks guys!):

• Refactor out the music player to a single point to detect ability and also command-line --nomusic override.
• Add command-line control over fullscreen / window sizing.
• Add clicking of character in map to activate.
• Fix resource snafu with finding save game files.
• Grant all characters some basic level of brawling skill.
• Fix blocking check for adjacent actions.
• Allow diagonal adjacent actions.
• Add diagonal movement.
• Add green box highlighting currently-active character.
• Clean up the cobble tiles a little.
• All graphical glitches now removed.
• Add a simple first-run help message when entering the tactical game.
• NPC turn feedback.
• Add in better command-line option handling.
• Allow immediate selection of arbitrary levels from command-line for testing.
• New ui / layout / button abstraction

More to come!

Very cool -- thanks for keeping us posted! I'm really impressed with everything that you've added.

I'm curious Richard; you were on a rather large team, how did that work out?

@HanClinto: yeah, I'm planning on keeping a dev log in this entry while I'm still working on it.

@joey101: the team didn't work out as well as it could have due to the wildly differing skill levels of the members. I covered this in previous diary entries if you're interested in the details.
