Definitely something that could be done, but the basics aren't even there yet.
It's all a process, and since none of us get paid it's a long process. Next year I don't see any work we can really do with what's there already. If the pbp is to get better things need to get added so we can go further. Hopefully these are the types of things that get added.

What about code that analyzes wall dimensions & height?

It may not deserve AS MUCH time as other areas of the game; but surely it deserves SOME attention.

I've said before that PBP, done correctly, will be
the major improvement in a new version of OOTP. I'm hoping that the delay is because, when he does it, he will do it right (and he's perfectly capable of doing that). He has stated that he watches about 3 game per week on TV. Maybe he should "ramp up" to 4 or more per week in preparation.

Great examples. I hope Markus does what he said and buys a copy of DMB - and, after digesting what is there, applies his considerable talents to
doing it right as the major improvement of a new release!
