Hi Thomas,
Yeah when Sarah is on her broom, she can not fly up or down. I assume she
automatically flies over the caretaker's head as that is most logical.
It is like the automatic walking feature with up arrow. I logically assume
that if she is walking forward, then she probably will continue to do so
rather than forcing the player to make each step with the up arrow key.
I do include control up arrow if you wish to manually walk forward.
One key combination you did not talk about in your description of movement
in a modern game was holding down both control and shift keys for certain
movements.
You could also use the insert key. as when Jaws is turned off will free up
this key.

Hi Phil,
Yeah, I know. I purchased Sarah. Smile.
However, as you said you simulated a third dimmention rather than
created one. That's alright, but if the game were truly 3d something
like the basement, for example, would be below the main floor. The
kitchen would be below the Great Hall. It doesn't make that much of a
difference in Sarah, but it certainly would be more realistic, in my
mind at least, if the rooms were truly 3d. That way Sarah could move
more freely on her broom ascend and descend on it as desired. Maybe
dive out of the way of a ghost or raise the broom to fly over the care
taker's head. You see what I mean?
Smile.

Hi Thomas,
I added a simulated third dimension to the Sarah game which happens when
she
is flying on her broom.
I imagine she is about 10 feet in the air so the Caretaker, Goblin or
Trolls
can't reach her, but the flying Peeves and ghosts can/
Plus there are a few items she can't get to unless on the broom like trap
doors in the ceiling.
The only thing I restrict her from picking up while on the broom are the
coins left on the floor.
All this is done with a few variables rather than creating a third
dimension.
