Subject: Started isometric version of the client


I have started an isometric version of the client (see the attached
screenshot.) It uses an almost standard server (the only change is in the
max image size XPM_BUF 65536 and in the max message size up to 65536 also).
The server changes should be backwards compatible with the old clients.

As you can see it is a long way from complete (and it is very buggy at the
moment). It would need for the server to have a new image catagory for the
isometric tiles (it uses the png ones at the moment which would stop
backward complatibility). I haven't really got the time to redo all of the
tiles at the moment but my exams end on the 22nd so I should have loads of
time then.

If you are interested then email me and I will send you the code (a
complete hack/mess). It goes against some of the rules (images are in
truecolour) and it uses sdl for all the windows and drawing. There is no
console or inventory yet. I also broke the keys since some of the key code
needs an x window open to work; sdl seems to have a good solution to this.

P.S. Please could you fordward this to the mailing list as I still can't
post to it
