Steve,
First things first, I have one program for player 0, and a second program for
player 1. I cannot play both games with the same program. I'm sure you'll
figure out why.
There is no real need for steps 3 or 5 (steps 4 and 6 provide the same thing),
but if you tell me what value you want me to send I can send it.
Can we send values 0-6 instead of 1-7? Come on, we're all C or assembly
programmers here, right?
I've got my 1500 page book working with standard IR messages, using neither
brickOS or QuiteC. Curious?

I currently force the seed to the same value once when program starts the first
time. I can force the seed for each game if desired.
