Hi, I would firstly like to thank you guys for your comments. Well definitely, I accept that moving the screen by making the mouse go towards the edges is a problem, one reaason being that the control buttons are within their range also in some cases it leads to the frame being showed when one takes the mouse pointer to a particular edge. We would work on making the requisite changes. Also, it would be great to show the exact location of the player on the mini map (right hand side - middle ). And surely working on efficiency is always a priority.
