As I understand it, it's the game engine which does the conversion to
texture, at runtime. Is this correct?
(if, on the other hand, it is me who converts it to png, there would
need to be two files: cursor.png and cursor-color.png to colorize the
cursor for each team)

Can't wait to see it!
I aimed to have the video ready to be aired when LW had network play,
but if you need feedback, it might make sense to release it earlier to
attract players.


Is LW6 ready for music on the technical side?

Would you like some graphic for that Tim Anderson disc?
