Mini map
It was suggested that there be a minimap in the main window. It would be a graphical window showing the current room with exits. There should be space in the top left column.
Hm. Perhaps it would be more useful to have a list of exits, including the names of the rooms those exits lead to?
I would prefer a list of exits. Also, when you have psycholocation or other sorts of map knowledge, it would be nice for the "sense" and "remember" commands to tell how how far away things are. It would be very helpful for players without graphics capability.
I just remembered - since psycholocation actually shows you what room people are in when you use the map, it would be nice if those locations were counted as "seen" for the remember command. I don't think that's currently the case, but maybe I'm wrong?
You can see where those rooms are, but you cannot see which rooms they are. They should not be counted as seen, as far as I am concerned.
Oh, that's right. What about wandering monsters that walk (or get teleported) into visited rooms - would remembering say where they were?
I don't think so, no. But I'd have to check the code to be sure about all the cases.
It looks like the "remember" command only mentions secret rooms the first time you do it after reading a scroll of mapping - after that, they are left out.
