Got it "almost" working. Looks great, until both P1 and P2 are active at the same time, then both disappear. Because these are both part of the same Input Port, right? So I need to account for the combination of 9x9 positions for the combined inputs? (e.g. up for both is 0xe0e, so I include the _u.png image in both elements with that state, and so on)?

Is there an easier / more professional / better code way of doing what I'm thinking of here, than having 81 different state/image combinations in the element?

(And on the empty element... makes sense... that will be corrected in files).

RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.
