Hello All,

I was looking into working on an online Tiles version somewhat according to
the ideas of henryci from his email on 2010-10-28.  I've created a very
simple Javascript page here to test out some ideas:
http://dcssjsc.99k.org/Page1.htm

All it does is parse some hard-coded JSON to display tiles in mostly the
correct locations.  The current state of that page looks vaguely like a
starting Crawl screen.  You may have to press a key or press the 'Get More
Data' screen to have it show the graphics.

To get the JSON data, I hacked up some printf's into the TileBuffer.add()
function to get the data.  My question is this:  where's the right place to
put the printf()'s to get the GUI data?

I'm thinking that I'd like this online version to match the GUI of the Tiles
version.  Henryci suggested adding the data to viewmapcc::show_map(), but
that seems too high level and would mean recreating some of the Tiles GUI in
the JavaScript client.  Also TileBuffer.add() seems too low level, as it
doesn't really have enough information about where the tile should be placed
(e.g. which layer, region location, etc).  In my sample above, I made some
assumptions to get it to look right.  I'd like to hear your suggestions as
my head is swimming in this code and getting nowhere. :)

Best Regards,

Jeff
