For example, this could be used to play Scrabble for a maximum of 15 minutes each, with each round taking no longer than one minute. (press PLAY to continue). \item Done. Player 1 starts in paused mode. So press PLAY to start. \end{itemize} \subsubsection{While playing} The number of the current player is displayed on the top line. The time below is the time remaining for that round (and possibly also the total time left if different). Keys are as follows: \begin{table} \begin{btnmap}{}{} \opt{player}{On}\opt{recorder,recorderv2fm}{Off}\opt{ondio}{OnOff} \opt{h1xx,h300,ipodcolor,ipodnano}{Select} & Exit plugin \\ \opt{player}{Stop}\opt{recorder,recorderv2fm,Ondio}{Left} \opt{h1xx,h300,ipodcolor,ipodnano}{Stop} & Restart round for the player \\ \opt{player,h1xx,h300,ipodcolor,ipodnano,recorder,recorderv2fm}{Play} \opt{Ondio}{Right} & Pausing the time (press again to continue) \\ \opt{player,h1xx,h300,ipodcolor,ipodnano}{Right} \opt{ondio,recorder,recorderv2fm}{Up} & Switch to next player \\ \opt{player,h1xx,h300,ipodcolor,ipodnano}{Left} \opt{ondio,recorder,recorderv2fm}{Down} & Switch to previous player \\ \opt{player}{Menu}\opt{recorder,recorderv2fm}{F1} \opt{ondio}{Mode}\opt{h1xx,h300,ipodcolor,ipodnano}{Rec} & Exit plugin \\ \end{btnmap} \end{table} From the menu it is possible to delete a player, modify the round time for the current player or set the total time for the game. When the round time is up for a player the message ROUND UP!'' is shown (press NEXT to continue). When the total time is up for a player the message TIME UP!''is shown.
