At first sight, it looks very good to me. Will complete NG on the
weekend (probably not before, unfortunately) Just thinking about
something: would you like a program to loads every PNM frame you give
it, make a character, and allows you to move this character on a sample
map? That way, and now that the Windows port is working, you would be
able to test your frames - can you imagine, you'll finally stop to work
blindly! :) You'd have to provide your frames as PNMs however. Which is
best, as GIF is limited to 256 colors, so maybe they lost a bit of their
quality during the conversion.

Alex.
