I'm refactoring the player class and also U_Npc, the base class for monsters and the player. It's now getting slightly interesting, because I'm restoring the actions which the player (and monsters) have in the game world. They caused some serious problems before, because I wasn't really good at figuring out where actions should take place. Even I knew monsters share some actions I didn't (for some strange reason) place them in the base class.
Writing the code for actions is I think the hardest part in roguelike project. You know, those innocent looking commands like eat, look and search. They rely so much on the engine core, that if the engine is broken then the commands can't work, or they require constant refactoring to match the changes in the engine. Of course, writing modular code is a good way to prevent such problems, but I really didn't know how to do that until now.
