The base tile size is 64x48, not 40x40. This one done to have tiles
fit the viewing angle (64x64 is foreshortened by 0.75 in y-axis thus
64x48). Not sure where the 64x96 comes from, but that are likely just
two tiles together in a single image.

    * A real world 1x1 meter square that is lying flat on the ground
would result in a 64x48 pixel in-game tile.
    * A 2 meter high wall, would result in a 96 pixel high sprite.
    * While the game does not enforce a tile structure in the maps,
keeping images as multiple of 64x48 makes it easier to combine them
without gaps.
    * Characters are drawn in a mild deformed style, with the body
having a total height of four heads, similar to some toys such as
Playmobil.
