Subject: Re: arrows

 

Vertical position of the middle of an arrow (not its top!) is given in pixel positions from the top of the screen, but the top or bottom of the arrow should not fall outside the character

position containing the body of the arrow. Put more simply, that value should not be exactly divisible by eight, nor must it be one less than a number which is exactly divisible by eight.

i think this may have something to do with how you get those freaky arrows that erase parts of the screen and stuff. hmmmmm :)

Yes, they
are `invalid' arrows, and JSW CK currently doesn't
allow them. But in the light of rooms such as "THE
FAULTY LINE", I may have to reconsider what should be
considered valid, and have JSW CK accept them with a
warning! :-)
