I would really appreciate it if you'd make changing client.dir rotate icons accordingly. Currently, if you, let's say, set client.dir to SOUTH, the map is rotated as if you were looking south from the top like it should. However, all of the icons face the same direction as they did before. That doesn't make any sense to me. Plus it's really messing up my game. <_<

But you see, each client has a different client.dir. Player one has north, player two has south, player three has east, and player four has west. Wouldn't I have to use turn() to turn every single icon 4 times in each direction to show each player what they should see?

But the other method has its purpose too. For instance, if this were a four-sided board, you could use it to make everyone see things from the same POV, despite being in different quadrants. | |
Is there any chance that another method will be introduced that *will* rotate the map and all the icons?

I doubt it, personally. If you really are serious about the idea of turning the game, I'm afraid you're just gonna need to do it yourself.

The intention is for things like board-games, where you want two players on opposite sides to still have the same view of the board. If you want to actually rotate the icons, you can use the icon.Turn() proc.
