If you're watching a direction, I think it would be a good idea to be able to see what comes into view as you're moving towards the direction you're watching.

Code Select
>watch north
You begin watching the north exit.

>n
An armored bahamet has come into view to the north.
A room [NESW]
This room is boring.
It continues in all directions.

>l n
[Very far]
An enormous shelled creature tramples the grasses.
[Far]
Nothing.
[Near]
Nothing.

>think Good thing I was looking out for that.
You think:
    "Good thing I was looking out for that."


Thoughts?
Code Select
*blank* hmms to himself, carefully peeing across the ground.

Arm is evil.  And I love it.  It's like the softest, cuddliest, happy smelling teddy bear in the world, except it is stuffed with meth needles that inject you everytime

now we can see that we are about to kill ourselves though! That would make the staff not happy :). J/k. I like it

That's actually not too bad an idea.

I like it, but you could just 'look north'.

I'm lazy?  Best response I could think of there.

I like it.

An A+ on realistic value!
A foreign presence contacts your mind.

I detest the idea of not liking it.

So, I like it.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

I dislike it completely because well it isn't even slightly close to umm..
:oops:
:oops:
Shit can't think of an excuse I like it.

I like it, though it sounds like it would be a bitch to code in a way that wouldn't drain resources.
Any questions, comments, or condemnations to an eternity of fiery torment?

This must be a really good idea.  Nobody has started arguing!

I like it too.

I can't say that it is a bad idea, though, one that if it was put in, I'd probly never use, hard enough to keep track of things when your moving about outside, alone or in a group without that large amount of added spam.
A gaunt, yellow-skinned gith shrieks in fear, and hauls ass.

Good idea.
eeling YB, you think:
    "I can't believe I just said that."

While it's a decent idea, you can get almost the exact same functionality with the new non-delayed look command:

> n
> l n (but don't hit enter until you arrive in the next room)

-- X
