Acually, the vertical bars wouldn't be that hard to implement.
Just put in the sprintf() where you output the rest of the stuff on that
line or whatever a %c, and put in a ? : for the arg where it outputs ' '
(space) if it is lower that the current line, and a '*' or whatever you
use if it's equal to or higher. i.e.
sprintf(buf, "stuff stuff and more stuff %c", lengthofbar <= x ? '*' : ' ');
where you would replace x with the actuall line number in the code. You
could use a macro to make typing smaller =>
you could also use the curses(i think) or ansi cursor controls, but that
is terminal-emulation dependant (meaning some players might not get the
expected output)
Hope that helped

Precedence: bulk
at least, i think it is - phobia flags :D
e.g. claustophobic - put in a bit for AFF_CLAUSTROPHOBIA
and put a check in act.movement.c for if the player is claustrophic
and if they are trying to move into a private room or a tunnel (for
example), they are too afraid to do so, so do_simple_move fails.
good for tacking onto rangers and outdoorsy type races }:)
heh... this can really open a fun can of worms for the sadistic imp :)
perhaps even create a whole new field in the player file for PHOBIA
bits...
