Awesome synthetic view of the problems. Thanks for putting this down on
(virtual!) paper, it's nice to have this base to talk about. I feel it
summurizes pretty much any significant idea we had. Anyone sees something
missing? I don't.

Cool! I'll commit this ASAP.

Yeah, broken code, feature disappeared, oops :( Kind of complicated to
explain it here, but I factorized stuff to gain lines of code, and I
over-simplified stuff and the gradient isn't any more. I might make it
come back but I don't consider this high priority.

Yes, maybe. But it can get complicated. What do you do if several players
share a color? Display all names? Tricky. The best option I think of is to
display the name along with the cursor.

Cool! I hope the Danish translation is good.

Yeah. I hope to be able to make significant hacks in the next weeks. Stay
tuned.

Happy new (liquid!) year everyone,
