Show player name below cursor #9

It's difficult to determine which cursor belongs to each player. I think showing the player's name beneath their cursor would allow players to be identified more easily.

each player has an assigned colour which is perfectly visible on the left and that colour is the colour of their cursor

I've been in many games where 3/4 players have a slightly different shade of green. Plus, the cursors are all grey if you have your graphics turned all the way down..

It'd still be a nice touch if the names were floating under the cursor.

Perhaps it could be hot-keyed? I.E. holding down the shift or ctrl key causes them to appear. As a color blind individual, this would be immensely helpful.

Alternatively, perhaps different players could be given different symbols for their cursor (or different symbols on their cursor). The different symbols would only have to be shown for remote players - the local player could always have a standard cursor if that makes interaction easier.
