I think the job may have been half-done. If I understood the design correctly, the idea was that the non-selected units would become very small and be arranged around the outside of the cell. So to try to render it in ASCII art: i i b f c IIIII f I c I f I d IIIII f d d f f where the big "I" is the selected unit, and the "i", "i", etc are the non-selected units. At least, I think that is one of the ideas that Stan had been playing with.
