I'm actually very surprised to see it's not used -- I can't remember deleting it. In original Diku, non-sentinel MOBs kept their "last_direction" byte updated to reflect the last direction they walked when doing random walking (controlled by mobact.c). I think it was to stabilize their movement, to keep them from going back and forth between the same 2 rooms, or something. If you pull a really old Circle off the FTP site it'll probably still be used in mobact.c. -Jeremy
