SPEAK YOUR MIND

"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free to move?"

"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

How to do it

In Response To: Marathon AutoMap (Jeff)

I think I saw this somewhere, I just can't think where...but wouldn't it be possible to have the automap key switch you to a top view of another location, with small pawns marking the place of the player/bobs/visible enemies/allies? It would be a bit difficult, but it would be possible, and it'd be really cool.

The markers could get the x-y locations of every pawn in the level visible to the player and transfer those to the corresponding points on the mini-map. The mini-map'd just be a top-view of a room with a black base floor, with raised green lines to mark the walls, or something. Text on the map, like in the original map, I have no idea how to do. :)
