Click to move

I had dismissed that a long time ago because of the basic way everything worked, though that should be technically doable now. There are still a couple of problems though:

1. Pathfinding can be slow on the client. This doesn't mean I couldn't do it, just that I'd have to do it very efficiently, probably giving up significant accuracy.
2. In combat, every single move still has to be recorded. In a fight, you'd really lose the benefit.

You know me, this doesn't mean it can't be done or I won't do it, but there are issues that would have to be resolved first.

Are you playing?

Actually....

I remembered shortly after I wrote that, that I'd written some code to do fast pathfinding in JavaScript, so #1 is moot.

Thinking about #2, I'm thinking you could still move, but you'd only move one square of whatever path you selected each combat turn. Clicking an enemy would still select them as a target, and clicking a selected target would still attack.

I'd have to add a little thing, maybe mapped to the "W" key, to toggle between melee and ranged attack.

What does everyone else think of this idea? The more I think of it, the more I'm liking the idea of point-and-click movement.
