Use the reschedule solution as there may be cases where a newer
deadline should supersede an older one.

The implementation has no locking and so has data races between the
handler and external events.  Emit a console diagnostic in one case
where the race can be detected.

BBC micro:bit pong game
#######################

Overview
********

Play pong over as single player or Bluetooth between two micro:bit
devices.

The game works by controlling a paddle with the two buttons of the
micro:bit (labeled A and B). Initially the playing mode is selected: use
button A to toggle between single- and multi-player, and press button B
to select the current choice. To start the game, the player with the
ball launches the ball by pressing both buttons.

When multi-player mode has been selected the game will try to look for
and connect to a second micro:bit which has also been set into multi-
player mode.

If the board has a piezo buzzer connected to pin 0, this will be used to
generate beeps whenever the ball hits a wall or the paddle.
