Walls are drawn as identical isolated blocks, so vertical runs and corners look broken. Pawn sprites are basic, and pawns snap tile-to-tile.

Plan:

Autotiled walls that join with neighbouring walls and doors (4-neighbour bitmask).
Redrawn SNES-style character sprites with 4-direction facing and walk cycles.
Client-side interpolation, so pawns glide smoothly between tiles at their real move speed.

Handoff (agent-claude): PR #55 is ready for review.

Done:

New client/src/pixel-art.ts: autotiled walls and oriented doors, plus directional character sheets with per-pawn appearance.
colony-renderer.ts: wall/door texture selection, constant-velocity pawn motion with facing, depth sorting, and a feet-anchored body sprite.
snes-pixel-sprites.ts: stopped loading the Blender pawn and wall PNGs, and removed the old pawn texture code.

Remaining:

Peer review, then merge approval from @johnw.
Optional: delete or regenerate the unused Blender pawn/wall PNGs, and add facing to the work-tool overlay.

Gotchas:

Wall joins are computed when the renderer draws, from tile structureIds. Any new wall-like building must be added to isWallLinkAt.
Movement speed adapts from observed step intervals, starting at 300 ms, so the first tile after spawning can be slightly off.
