It is pretty fun. However, I am having a weird glitch with my code. If anyone can figure it out, that would be helpful. Also if anyone can think of a fix for bumping into walls with it between you and the wall. If you move diagonally forward, the character with the sword remains on the same Y coord. Later, if you wait, the character returns to in front of you.

Moving NW/SW with your weapon pointed west doesn't work. Other directions OK.

Yes, I know. As well as NE and SE with your sword East. But for the life of me I can't figure it out.

Something else I noticed is that, facing east, if a monster is one space north of the staff, going northwest also causes the desync.

One of the issues seems to be that it can't go into wall edges. If there was a way to make a monster not an obstacle while still being visible...

I think this would also solve the other issues.

I think that the problem is that they all fall in the same layer. My character doesn't actually move but teleports to the location each turn, which is why I don't understand these glitches. Nothing in the code even references what the player does, only where he is. It shouldn't matter that he stands still for one turn, but that is when it resyncs... I'm stumped.
