Not to push, but when do you think you might work on this again?
This code seems to be the best available adventure game engine
for Linux out there, especially for the types of games I'd
like to put together.

How difficult would it be to define a sort
of generalized region trigger defined?  For
example, a door would be a specific kind of trigger region that
changes scenarios.

Could you give me a quick pointer to the location in the code to
do this?  Thanks.
