Things like that could probally be handled in a debug gfx layer (aka
WorldObj::draw_debug_layer()), so that you would get a nicly graphical
representation of whats going on. We already have a way to draw the
collision map instead of the gamemap while the game is running and
things for the actions might be also quite helpfull. I have though
about this in the past, but never really started to implement it,
probally time to think about it again and finally implement it, since
the GUI in the game is now much cleaner it should get to hard.
