Great, it even worked in 400x300.

I can't reproduce that. I just added blanks when I trimmed the HUD display
a bit and it worked very well. Please check out current CVS and see whether
it still fails for you.
BTW, I reintroduced a fog effect for all tiles except the current one,
what do you think?

Thanks, will have a look at it, however the solution is not really
pressing, as we can use larger couplings of meshes without a real
disadvantage. This also make it easier to place all the trees on the tile.

goto works like a charm in C++ and it's really handy in some situations.
After all a goto is nothing but a high level representation of one of
the most basic assembly command, the JMP.

We can use it for the real caribbean tiles in 0.3, but I don't think it's
necessary right now.
A nice/simple improvement for 0.2.2 would be a two-layered water plane, that
shifts between them and gives the impression of floating water.
One of the tutorials by Xenorakis (sp?) uses one and it looks pretty nice.
Maybe you can have a look at that. There are some water textures at
undone.clanlib.org/~grumbel/show.cgi
