Hey,

I’m developing an RPG using the tile-based code found on [TONYPA’s website](http://www.tonypa.pri.ee/tbw/start.html) and need a bit of help with **positioning** NPCs, as well as giving the player the ability to **speak with them** (by hitting space when facing them).

I did some searching and it was mentioned [here](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2249967&postcount=10) but I’m still not sure exactly how to do it.

Some help would be greatly appreciated!
