Is there any non nightmare hellcode way of dealing with directional windows and movement? So far they've proven to be a fucking insane mess.

Which sick fuck made putting glass on grilles create a full window? Maybe otherwise they’d be tolerable

I get that it's not possible to check in window/Cross() because we don't pass vital information like the fucking direction of movement to Cross(). But if we did pass that info, side-only blockers would be fairly trivial.
Directional windows were annoying to repair for players btw. Made fixing bombs 2-3 times as hard because there'd be 2-3 windows per tile, especially on those grille sandwiches. And rotating them was the worst.
