Good to hear :). And it's probably the biggest step in map development
too.

Well, everything you say sounds good. There's just a thing regarding the
current alextest: I fear we won't be able to go without more precise
walkability test. With the square-based movement it wasn't a big issue
if you couldn't walk right up to some object. But with the new pixel by
pixel movement, I think it's much worse when you get stuck somewhere,
where you shouldn't get stuck. 

It's not the most pressing issue now, but something we'll have to
address sooner or later, I think.
