I didn’t get the thing about ray casting. I thought it’d be whenever I was in front of people but it seemed almost random as to when they say me. Sometimes they see me from a long distance, sometimes not. But I finished it anyway. Good game.

Apologies about that - I had totally forgotten, included the link in the post there. The view calculations are a little weird - from what I remember, here's what I did: To determine if someone sees something it first cast rays out horizontally on front of and either side of the person, and then propagates each of those forwards, like

  
  ^ ...
  ^ -> -> 
  ^ -> ->
p - -> ->
  v -> ->
  v -> ->
  v ...

both only stopping when an obstacle is met. Probably would be better to do normal ray-casting in most circumstances.

Greetings! I’d love to know how you made the “detect”-thing work, but I seem unable to find the source code?
If you have the time, I’d be very nice if you could help me out.
