Live game upgrade please colour the names of those who are playing

DruidThudmeister

I thought i had mentioned this one b4 but could not see it on the to do list

Now that we have many more people playing the live game regularly it would be useful for the names of those already playing to change colour so that new people logging in can see who is playing and who is waiting for a game. i think this would help.

--Where are we going and why am i in this handbasket?...
...Oh! always try to look on the bright side...
... Um anybody got any marshmellows.?

If it was really clever the colours could match - so if I was playin OB, both our names would be, say, blue, and if SANEAlex was playing Palm their names would be in green...

Or do people think it should be able to stay private until the players chose to reveal it? - I'm always keen to preserve privacy, cos you never know where the risk is online, but I cant see it being a big problem...

i'm also into privacy, but i don't think it matters if people see who you are playing.

if not, even uniform coloured names for those who are playing would be an improvment.

I think that this would be a nice extra but thinking of Dewi's things to do list it might be simpler to just go for a uniform colour change if playing or not hopefully it would not involve to much extra codeing and give a good value of functionally for effort involved.

But if i could add to wish list of it would be nice if... then the colour code thing that u suggested along with hover over name gives you the game number their are playing so that if no one else is available then you can watch the game being played using the http://game.thudgame.com/getgame/ function.
