The reason I want it implemented is so I can remake Graal offline play, but this is only one things you could do with a great feature like this.

I'm not sure if this would slow down older computers much. I wouldn't think it would _that_ bad, but then again I'm not a DirectX or C++ programmer so I don't know. It is fairly important that it doesn't bog down a users computer because Graal seems to be aimed for low-end computers.
This actually sounds nice. I'm not sure what it would actually be useful for since there are probably ways to simulate the effect of a splitscreen using things like board[index] to place down tiles in one portion of the screen or using showimgs.
