Client User Interface

This page describes the user interface for the client application. For installation instructions, please see: WindowsClientInstall, LinuxClientInstall, MacClientInstall. Also see ClientCommandLineArgs

Before Connecting

Please visit the account server and create an account for yourself.

Connecting

After running the client app, you'll get a big window (or full screen if you so chose) with a smaller Login window inside. The host name is a drop down list box. Select the server from there (or type it in if you like-- the format is hostname:port). Enter your username and password, then hit Connect.

The next thing you should see is the Select PC window which allows you to choose a PC or create a new one to be associated with your account. Select a pc and hit "ConnectPC". You should then start to see objects appear. If not, it may be a bug.

Once connected, you can use the following Keys:

• W or Up Arrow: Move forward
• S or Down Arrow: Move backward
• Left Arrow: Turn left
• Right Arrow: Turn right
• A: Strafe left
• D: Strafe right
• Space bar: jump

View

To change the view, hold down the left shift key.

Chatting

You may notice a window in the bottom of the screen. It has a big open area and a text box. If you enter text in the text box and hit <Enter>, you will say that in the game. Other people will see it in the open area above.
