Hello, my name is Clint Silvester, and I had the same idea, but for a
full blown RPG game.  I wanted to get away from the traditional tile
based maps in RPGs, so I want to do a magic carpet-like map, and maybe
an implementation of this for the dungeons, and the towns, but thought
it might be better to go with traditional tile-based overhead for the
towns and such.  By the way, what do you need for it?  My sister is the
one that I am going to use for the graphics.  She has not done anything
like this before, and when she tried to draw some stuff, it looked just
like anime, so I decided to go with her :)

Let me know wht you need, and I'll try to help.

	Clint

PS  I know nothing of DJGPP or allegro yet, (or even how to program in
32-bit code for that matter) but I am determined, and able. ;)
