features:
- very fast scalable tilesystem
- flexible diablo style inventory system (could add horadric cube, stash, shops etc with a few lines :D)
- diablo 2 ish style lightning engine (slows it down quite a bit, but still very playable on my laptop, over 30 fps usually)
- minimap
- 11 spells with their own lighting effects
easy to use fullscreen effects like poisoning, adjustable light radius of every object, etc
to add:
random fix crashes when not in debug mode:
- pathfinding on click
- fix mana and hp bar, fenix dislikes my regions; use map block copy instead
- finish inventory item interaction(split money, right click actions)
- enemy system (groups), path finding, long and short range
- attempt to draw my own tile graphics instead of using diablo 1's
- draw a main character in 8 directions, and an enemy character in 8 directions... yeah , next year maybe.
..yeah, this project helped me establish quite a giant buglist on my IDE, including bugs where prg files were erased >.>

Demi-chase.net seems to be down so the images don't appear. Hmm I'll try again later.

not surprising : \ servage.net isn't a very reliable webhost...

It works again, looking very good! How did you implement the dynamic lighting?

With an additive blend to the screen of a lightmap that all objects with a lightradius blit their "light graphic" on. (yeah , therefor their light radius is fixed : \ , but you can use a different light graphic, or a different size, looks quite good either way :-) ) and it works different for objects with depth, their brightness is calculated using the lightmap, and a blendop from an array loaded at the start is used.
it's not that fast, but the fastest method I could find, and usable, since the speed does not seem to decrease much when there are more object or lighting effects on the screen...
