Half-width walls, center to center

Suggested by PowerDiver.

This is a symmetrical system.

Consequences:

Monsters occupy half the width/height of grid

Suggested by jv123.

Monsters, characters, items are in the center of their grid's square taking up half the width/height. If lines from any point in the @'s sub-square can go to any point in the M's sub-square without crossing a wall then each is visible by the other. Walls take up the full grid square.

This is a symmetrical system.

Consequences.
