ok, nice for the offer. The characters are gonna be of size 32x64 and
256 colours max. Being hit by a lorry is no problem really.

Ideally I would like 4xCharacters, each with
3 animation frames for running (to cycle frames in order of  0, 1, 0,
2), and each of those in one of 8 directions in 3D.

what I would be over the moon with now would be:
1xcharacter
1x anim frame per directions
4 directions (ie from front back + two sides (although they would be
be mirrored anyway).

Um, understand what I mean?

==================
latest version now up and includes:

larger map, made possible by
dodgy clipping, but it works
collision detection with walls (only going forwards though, im lazy at
the mo)
3d sprites for the characters
characters change colour according to light

most pressing things still to do
finish collision detection
sort out clipping routine. Once done this should allow-
* smaller packet areas, hence larger maps
* different resolution/drawing method of models
* changing subdivision
* general speedup (hopefully by about 30%)

things to do last
add gameplay :)

Im still hoping to get it running in 25 fps but it aint looking
likely. maybe 17fps, seems acceptable. I mean, look at tomb raider,
about 4fps (thats a lie, but you get my point).
