I think the jagged edges are probably a result of the interpolation method you're using. Are you using Gimp to edit? If so, you should be able to just try a few things with scaling until you can make it work (just give each interpolation method a try, although I'd probably start with 'None'). Try to make sure you only scale once, but I'd assume you knew that...

Please work on those pages!!! As to the gif for the burning bricks, if you can figure out how to take enough images to get a decent gif (that macro idea seems like it would work, although I don't actually have any idea how to do this), then you should be able to use Imagemagick to make the gif. I assume you've used the command line before, and this tool beats everything once you get the right options (which I will now provide, it took me a little while :P). Once you've taken the macro, dump all your little images (cleaned up and ready to be animated) into one folder (say, on your desktop). Navigate to that directory using a terminal, and run this command (I assume this works the same way on windows...):

convert -dispose background -delay 10 -loop 0 *.png output.gif

The -delay option is the time between frames, in hundredths of a second (I think, we had a discussion about this). If you take a screenshot every tenth of a second, that should animate your gif at the correct speed. You can see the use of the universal selector for the input files, and output.gif, which you could rename whatever you wanted, so long as it has the gif extension.

As to the pillars, I've been wanting Isometric images there for a while. I'm wondering if we shouldn't do something like what Ffets did on the Clay Tiles page, with the different types, or just take screenshots like there are now, but backgroundless and isometric. I really don't know what it should look like, or how we can design it so that it looks good with a decent layout of the page. The easy way would be to take screenshots like what exist now, just like the first option (making them as big as possible), and that would look alright. Better maybe would be to re-format the page and make things a little bit more complicated, like what Ffets did. What do you think?
