Support for moving the screen when Flag::UserInput is disabled

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This would make it possible to create an ai replay watcher that also could be  
used when watching the AI play.

You can already move the screen? I don't understand what this issue is for.

Yeah since you can already move the screen via the gui, I think this issue 
might mean
support for moving the screen via code, like a Game::setScreenPosition(Position 
p)
function. I tried modifying the values read by getScreenX/Y, but that had no 
luck.

Anyway I don't see how AIs could benefit from this so its low priority, but it 
might
be an interesting feature to add at some point down the road if AIs have some 
sort of
location based focus/attention algorithm, and want to show what part of the map 
they
are focusing on.

... This is about moving the screen via code of course ;)
I have started to write a replay watcher that mimics real casters (like 
Artosis) - 
its using a speaking Library and tries to identify the replay (using a 
webservice and 
maybe a sequence of actions or the replay itself) to put the game into context. 
You 
can also ask questions along the way that the ai caster will try to answer 
(simple 
ones of cause). And I would love it to use existing build order databases or 
wiki's 
to get information. But for it to be successful i need to be able to move the 
screen 
to relevant positions where the action takes place :)
