public class Ghost

extends Piece

A ghost is a piece that is painted using a semi-transparent symbol.

This is how a ghost is supposed to be used: A ghost piece is a remnant of a usual piece. The ghost piece is something specific to the client, and the server does not keep track of ghosts. The ghost should not have any actions or properties, and should have a negative handle (the server uses positive handles only).
