# University Challenge

University Challenge is a web based quiz show application modelled on the

popular UK television show. It manages the competing teams and takes care of

buzzing and scoring, but does *not* handle the questions themselves.

It works best with a separate quiz master asking questions and game master

controlling the game and with two sets of four physical buzzers.

## Setup

* You need two sets of four buzzers e.g. the PS2 or PS3 Buzz! Quiz buzzers are

  knwon to work well

* Connect the buzzers to the game master's laptop via USB

* Map the buzzers for team 1 to the keys 1 to 4 and for team 2 to 5 to 8

* If your buzzers are recognized as a USB joystick, you can use keymapping

  tools like [AntiMicro](http://ryochan7.com/projects/antimicro/) on Linux (I

  couldn't get [QJoyPad](http://qjoypad.sourceforge.net) to map keys of two

  sets of buzzers simultaneously) or [Xpadder](http://xpadder.com) on Windows
