Enhanced the drawmaps.py demo so that it renders things as colored circles.

I thought it might be nice if things were visible in the image produced. Maybe a command line argument could be added to make the things optional, but it's just a demo. It can be modified by the user based on their needs.

Here's an example of an image. It's MAP05 from the Freedoom project with width 800.

I'm receiving e-mails on updates of this repository. I'm finding it interesting! I'm fairly new to GitHub. I'm editing dumb questions I should already know... If you don't want this kind of talk in chat I can stop my questions. Your work looks fabulous! Carry on! <3 Doom

kevbarnard82, thanks for the kind feedback. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I'm don't have any connection to OMGIFOL other than this one pull request, so I can't speak for that project. But if you have any questions about this change that I did I'm happy to answer them.

Looks good :) I can see about merging it sometime soon since I'm doing some work on the project lately anyway.

One additional idea: possibly using the thing categories in omg.thinginfo to color-code the markers similarly to e.g. Doom Builder. The actual thing type values could still be used to add some variation in brightness/saturation or something like that.

That might be nice, but I'm not sure what the colors should be for each category. There are cases where items in a category have distinct colors, like keys. I'll think about it more.

I thought I'd let you know that I'm working on a separate tool that is based on drawmaps.py. It will have a lot of command line options to configure how the images are produced. More details to come soon. So feel free to merge this or not as you see fit for demo purposes, but eventually there will be a tool that has the thing functionality in this pull request.

I won't keep posting here since it's not the right place, but I thought I'd follow up on my previous comment. I finished the tool I mentioned in my last comment. It's here. I've also created a gitub page for it. Anyway, thanks for your work on Omgifol. It's quite helpful.
