# Determine how many players (just ask; have each register their button)

##########################
# If two players
##########################

  # For a given turn; system will pick on player to be the active player

  # The system will ask every one to close their eyes.

  # The system will then ask the active player to open their eyes and press their button (to confirm everyone else's eyes are closed)

  # The system will then show either red (lie) or green (truth) goal for the current player

  # The system will then flash the button a set number of times and then tell all players to open their eyes.

  # The system will then ask the active player to say how many times the button flashed.

  # The system will then ask the non active player if they believe the 'counter' is telling the truth or not

  # If the active player didn't follow the instructions the 'detector' gets the point (ie. told to lie but didn't, told to tell the truth but didn't).

  # if the 'detector' correctly detects the player's action, the 'detector' gets a point.

  # if the 'detector' incorrectly guesses the player's action, the 'counter' gets a point.

  # first to X points wins.

  # for a given turn; system will pick one player to be the 'liar'

  # The system will then go one player at a time and ask them to open their eyes, then flash either a red or a green light for their button.

  # After everyone has had a turn, the system will then ask everyone to open their eyes and discuss who they think got the 'red' light.

  # if the player with the red light is correctly identified, all the other players 1 point.
  # if the player with the red light is not correctly identified, the player with the red light gets 3 points.
