Challenge #10 - Line Of Sight (LOS)

   
   Line of sight is common problem in Game AI.   So this time your challenge is to calculate if the player can be seen by other characters within a room/world of obstacles.   If  a character can see the player, then this should be displayed some how (perhaps a message, drawn a line between them, or changing colours).    Don't concern your selves with pretty visuals though, the challenge is an AI / Logic one, so experiment and see what methods you can dream up!

  Note: The Characters don't have to move.
