taking non-zero time, which is triggered by the making of a move and
is _not_ hurried to its conclusion by the start of the next move (so
the game redraw function is expected to be able to draw it in

terminates a flash is the start of a fresh flash. In particular,

at least _my_ playing instincts make me lock every piece I've
unambiguously placed, and hence the last turn move is instantly
followed by a lock move which was previously suppressing the
completion flash.

name) which are selectable from the menu. This means I can play
both Octahedron and Cube without recompiling in between :-)
