[QUOTE="HappyTalk, post: 88003, member: 22671"] There is a UK gameshow called Sudo-Q, it's on the BBC so the name must be OK to use. On one part contestants play against each other, each with a timer counting down. The computer selects and flashes the square they must enter the number for, if wrong it beeps and other contestant goes on the same square. Once guessed the computer selects the next square. They use 2 versions one using four 2x2 sized grids in a 2x2 matrix and a later one (as in the timer round) using six 3x2 grids (nums 1-6) in a 2x3 matrix. Obviously they use smaller sized sudoku's as it's a fast moving show. Dunno if that would be of interest for an implementor. Alternatively (and a lot simpler), it could use 2 timers counting up (red and blue) and alternate the colour of the square selector so two people can take turns to pick a square (if block bad moves is on then if bad move made, then beep, add 20 seconds to timer, same person has to try again. We currently use 2 remotes to play alternate sudoku, just got no timers. I see this is no longer a standalone plugin since 0.2.0.4 which is a shame as I have had tv drop-out issues with 0.2.1.0 and so reverted. [/QUOTE]
