We're working on finding the easiest way to control the character, and 
displaying the
cursor is definitely an option.  We might also try basing the direction off of 
the
character's position instead of the center of the screen.

The only way to really fix this is to try different techniques and see which 
"feels"
the best.

Jared implemented walls, you can now see the mouse cursor, and the character's
direction is based on the relative position of the mouse to the character 
(instead of
the mouse to the center of the screen, as was previously done).

So far the character seems much easier to control.  We also have implemented 
movement
both absolute and relative (to the character's direction), all that needs to be 
done
is an interface to switch between the two at runtime.
