[pygame] Tactics Game Demo

[Kris Schnee <kschnee@xxxxxxxxxx>]

At <http://kschnee.xepher.net/code/071214tactics_demo.zip> is a playable 
demo of a quick-and-dirty tactical combat game in the style of "Final 
Fantasy Tactics" and "Disgaea: Hour of Darkness." I did this for 
practice; check out the included source (mainly acorn.py) for the game 
framework I ended up using. The framework code is also available at 
<http://kschnee.xepher.net/code/acorn.py.txt>.

Gameplay:
Hit a key to start. Move your characters (the raccoon team) to valid 
spaces, shown in blue, then either attack a target (in red) or click on 
the character themselves to defend for the next round. Your team has a 
fast (overpowered, really) scout, a "heavy," and a healer who does 
negative damage. Defeat both enemies to win.

Known problems:
-Escape quits, but only during the brief pauses between characters' 
actions. I should probably have all unhandled events passed back to the 
main event-handler so that Esc keypresses are always handled.
-NPCs just stand there and attack if you're in range. This is a result 
of the NPC AI not having been fully built.
