I think I have solved the player recognition problem
circling characters seems to be part of hanzi typography
so as dumb as it seems putting a little red circle around the player.
seems to do the trick and does not break the design.
-Jake
on the issue of starting with simple radicals very clever even though the
犬 (Dog) in 狐 (fox). might not jump out at a person.
maybe if I write it like this 犭
apparently a Fox is a solitary dog but 孤 (orphan) looks similar to 瓜(melon)
on an unrelated note the game now has orphans.

It certainly requires a certain sense of composition.
give it some time I am not a Hanzi reader but after a small amount of game play
the ideograms become quite expressive.
I did notice that the contrast in the downloaded version leaves much to be desired.
if you place a picture titled map.bmp (perhaps a snap of a piece of paper) in the directory
it looks nicer.

My wife has the same problem with it.
I am trying to figure out an aesthetic solution.

huge world
perma-death
world remembers the changes made by previous characters.
working on throwing things and professions at the moment.
fighting works but you have to mean it!
