haha that would be awesome to get those both. Also, pong might be cool, you could even do two player, even though its pretty similar to break-out.

hi
Someone asked me for a "buzzer" functionnality...
You know when you play a "society game" (don't know the english word), kind of game which require an electronic thing to decide which one push the button first.
I know it is not a game but it is a nice idea for "desk gamers".
It shouldn't be hard to do, but I really don't have time for it, maybe a beginner coder could do that !

I already started such a script
but it is a huge work for me as we need internet database for questions and python script to handle player answers
I thought about a multiplayer based game, a server has to receive players that want to play and start a game as soon as all needed players are waiting (nintendo DS style)
I started my python interface for 3 players. A question is shown, then 4 possibly answers. Then a 10 seconds timer starts waiting for player action. As a player push its button, the player has 5 seconds to push the correct answer. If the answer is ok, the answer is shown and an explanation can be displayed. Then a new turn can start.
This is what my pre-alpha-test-for-myself version can do.
The question is just a test question setted in the core script, but a friend developped a set of php files with a sql database to store questions.
The interest of the database is that we need a million questions and it is quite impossible for only one coder to make the php script, the python script and fill the database.
My idea was to develop a server with many different user accreditations. Super admin : the server admin
admin : a special guest, can do evertyhting but no access to the php server
super contibutors : can fill the database and those ones are known to be good in their language and with good questions/answers. They can approve other users submitted questions
simple contributors : can just fill the database with questions. Then questions must be approve by super contributors
...
Ok I'm sure you see what I mean. Many users has to participate, and I'm not sure it would be easy to find so many people interested in filling the database
Another idea would be to ask one of those many website that propose quizz games. They may want to share the project has it can be multiplateforme. and so we can work hand in the hand together.
the internet multiplayer function is another Idea in my mind but I don't have any clue on how to synchronise every players together...
Local quizz games just get a question with answers and explanation, then one player = on key ; 3 players for a great xbox quizz game
