Ok Michael, perhaps I did not make it clear enough, but Jacques somehow guessed it anyway: three different tokens in three different basic colors are used a lot in the game. Given my simple nature, I assumed it would be both easier and faster to draw them just once at beginning, save them as images, and re-use them as required. My initial impulse was to do it on a hidden page (in fact I have just noticed a remnant of it - set_active_page(0) - twins.ex, line 78, I failed to delete!). Then I realized mode 18 had just one page, and promptly forgot all about it, because even my old 66 MHz 486 is fast enough to obscure it. Then came David Cuny with his 386 ... Jiri.
