Okay, defeated
Hi!
I gave it an honest try, but I simply didn't make it in time.
For those interested, I have uploaded the last version of the program I got together within the deadline in mai0_0_3.zip.
I had planned to reduce the RPG to a simply finding the path through the pre-set labyrinth thing, but a silent bug in the event system has thwarted even that (since I didn't get an error message, I wasn't able to find it in time).
Anyhow, I still think that some of the ideas that went into the code may be useful for others, so I would encourage people to have at least a quick look at it.
It has been fun participating in this and good luck to all!
