G'day Clément, I'm finding that playing the game is actually more difficult than coding the bugger. I cracked level six the night before last. I can't even figure out what I'm meant to do in the starting points of level seven, dolly's revenge.
btw, in the next release, xorcurses will gracefully exit if it can't find the maps - it will check the install location and the current working directory first. and the last objects, teleports, i'm working on them now, which will open up the remaining evil horrible bastard levels. james.
