Of course - thanks for clarifying. I imagined the same think after I
wrote that. Lets find out what happens when someone tests it under
pressure of two teams of enthusiastic gamers. It seems very unlikely
indeed (to me) that there would be problems playing the game on page 2

(p.s. another alternative for a classroom with multiple computers
would be to share the toy in a Croquet/OpenCobalt world.)
