I did the code and of course there are plenty of catches ;-). I
committed it anyway as I think it is a base to work with.

There are some changes need, though. For one, sorting of flat objects
needs to change so that their order is more similar to that of
vertical objects. And so far there is no code to decide which tile
should be drawn first.

More updates on how it goes next week,
