This is exactly what I've in mind, thought I fear that the thing to defend
or to unbuild will be limited to one half only of the playfield. That
because I'm running out of RAM and the playfield map as is now takes 18
bytes. Moreover, simplifying the playfield would allow me to add some
things in the kernel (more colors...). BTW, I've just added multiple-copies
of enemies (thought that's still a little buggy)... now there can be a
formation of up to 27 of them! :-)
