 * Multiplayers games can take place with several (humans or eventually
 * AIs) players on the same computer (they use the same keyboard and have
 * each a @ref MPBoard widget on the screen) or/and network players.
 *
 * This class is intended to do all the hard work of sending/receiving data
 * between the players and to send the keyboard events to the right
 * @ref MPBoard. So multiplayers game should be completely transparent
 * from your point of view.
 *
 * Note : The data exchange is done in background with a timer calling at given
 * intervals the read/write methods. Obviously this kind of things can be done
 * easily with threads but I have no experience with thread programming
 * and not all people have thread libraries and a thread-safe system.
