Well, Thomas' demo used two different colors for the 12 players seemingly

haven't looked at the source,) so why not just make one of the colors

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. (The other way would be to do a flicker
thing, but I suppose a whole flickering row or even half of one would look
pretty nasty.)

xstella, but that's xstella.
