I'm currently working on a level where I want to know the location
where each dynamite is exploded, to add some custom effects on
explosion.

I'm doing this by giving each dynamite a unique name, and then
checking their position periodically with
enigma.GetPos(enigma.GetNamedObject(unique_name)).

Once the position changes, I know that the dynamite has been dropped
and so I save that location. After that, once
enigma.GetNamedObject(unique_name) returns nil I know that dynamite
has exploded, and so I will add my custom effect at the saved
location.

Do you have any idea how the enigma.GetPos() will change, and how I
should continue to do what I want to do? I can't just check the map
for new "it-hollow":s because then I wouldn't know which dynamite was
exploded at that location.

ps. It would be really nice to be able to set callback-functions for
different events, like dropping an item.
