Walking diagonally into a wall should slide along it, not stop dead

A hero that freezes whenever it brushes a wall feels glued to the map, especially in caves and houses full of corners. Sliding looks simple, but a fast step can also jump straight through a thin wall. Here is the order of the checks and the safe step size.

Why this works

A wall only blocks the part of your push that points into it. Treating each direction on its own lets the free part carry on, so you slide along the wall the way a hand does, without any special rule for corners or angles.

When not to use it

Do not slide in games with strict tile steps, or where bumping into a wall should stop you, such as a maze that punishes sloppy steering. Stop on contact there so the player must aim properly.
