beyond walktut

[ghaz]

In my "quest" to learn more about Crystal Space and CEL I'm trying to turn the CEL walktut into more of a game (this could maybe end up as a follow-up tutorial to walktut).

My first step was to make the monkey follow the player, instead of flying along a preset path. I got it to work, but it doesn't seem like a very good implementation. I set a pctimer with the wakeup action for about 10 msec. So a couple of times a second the monkey adjusts it rotation and direction to match the player's current position. It works, but it just seems wrong and inefficient. Is there a better way that I just didn't see?
