ok, so i guess i don't really understand your problem? what method are you
using to print the little map array? if i were doing it, and doing it the
way you seem to be trying to (which i wouldn't), i'd do it something like
this:

find the character
cast north to end of line of sight
print room type for each exit to end of map west to string
print room type for each exit to end of map east to string
print string
cast north to end of line of sight -1

repeat

then it doesn't matter where you start, or where you're going. let me say
again, this method SUCKS. IMHO, you should rethink it a little. i mean,
you don't REALLY want to make a billion four exit rooms, do you? shouldn't
parts of the wilderness not be accessable?

maybe you should restate your actual problem and give us an idea
(codewise) of how you're doing (or not) it now..
