Cunning, though for me, it's more of a curiosity than something I'd be willing to implement. Can a builder switch between coord systems? Say from cartesian to cylindrical? Or perhaps something even more bizarre, like transformations to a Z plane: > l There's a huge building 100m to the right. > turn right There's a huge building 100m infront of you. > walk [pause] There's a huge building 30m to your left. > walk towards building [pause] > l There's a huge building 150m to your right.

Oh, I see... Mundane questions coming up... How do you define irregular domains? Lots & lots of coords? I presume players can see across domains? Can domains be shifted around? Say, if an earthquake struck an area.
