You are on the right path, only some of those cases are discarded. Corners are only considered if they are between two straight parts. If they are not, you can unset them and recalculate the index. If you look at 241s, having a dot in the top and bottom right corners do not change its shape.
Conan the Barbarian's author died in 1936, its copyright is expired after 75 years of his death regardless of your respect to copyrights. To keep the copyright of Mickey Mouse Disney keeps pressuring politicians which resulted new works not to enter public domain for the past 40 years! The reason behind copyright is to allow author to make livelyhood out of their creations. 125 years of exclusive rights to something created within your company is totally nonsense.
I am not an anti-corporate guy but these corporations are truly evil. They take characters from public domain books and put trademarks on them. Which I seriously doubt will hold in any court, unless of course if they do not interfere with the court. They are milking a cow that is not theirs and stop everyone else from doing the same. It is my belief that nobody should give in to their requests. Especially when the work in question is published in 1818! Ownership of the public domain is the humanity, no one should try to steal from the others.
I have no doubt about it, as I wrote "They will surely try, ...". But that trial is just fear mongering, if they go to court they will not succeed. Some people still hold on to the copyrights of Conan the Barbarian even though its copyright is expired. They will threaten you to sue if you don't pay to them. When greeted by a managable payment, most people simply does not want trouble themselves to defend their rights in the court.
You cannot copyright or trademark something that is already in public domain. That design depicts the character in a book that has gone public domain 100 years ago. They surely will try, just to scare people and have free reign over something that belongs to general public.
I just saw this today, we have a competition that ends at 16th, so I might need to limit the time even more. Maybe 10 days? I am glad to see some programming activity on the site again..
Please try our GGJ entry vodoo tycoon. Instead of generic shop you are managing a potion shop. There is a game on Kongregate about managing a shop, you probably need to try that one too. For graphics, I am also willing to help on anything that is not organic. So swords, shields, jewels, buildings but not people, pets or armors.
That is very curious. They link to the same page.
These are public domain resource. They probably repacked them.

Definitely. After you get it published, toss its link, I would love to see them in action.
