Bad move. If the symbols were ***, this method would send &G*&G*&G*, which
is a bit more data than the player wants. Rather, make a check for the last
color or symbol used, and see if the next one will be different. If so,
terminate old color, send new. Otherwise, just send another symbol. ie,
&G***&n&B~~~&n
