Nevertheless, I'll describe step by step how to play a game and further functions of JOYity 1.0:
In the Lobby you'll find different buttons: Start Game, Upcoming Games, My Games, Running Games, Past Games, and Game Designer.
The ‘Start Game’ button is to start a game and to invite friends or to permit people to add themselves to play together.
You can start a game immediately or plan it for future. To start a game in future, please change date and time. There should be enough time for other players to find the game or for you to invite others to join the game.
If you want to play only with invited people please choose ‘Invitation only’. Create your team name and then invite friends or wait for people to participate by addition.
Participation by invitation: Choose the ‘friends’ or ‘all’ button for listing people. Then choose step by step the persons you’d like to invite to your game. You’ll get a message of these persons if they accept or reject your invitation.
Participation by addition: People who want to join also in an unlocked game without an invitation can add their team in the game in ‘Upcoming Games’.
After you have send invitations you'll return to the Lobby. To see the status of your game, please choose ‘My Games’. Press the button of your hosted game to see participating people. Choose the button of participating people to see their profile.
The letters of the starting time are shining green, when the game begins.
The ‘Upcoming Games’ button allows to see a list of games scheduled for the future. If a game is not locked you can join that game. Therefore you choose the game you'd like to participate, and add yourself as a team. In ‘Upcoming Games’ you can invite other people to participate in the game, too.
Choose the game of your interest to see which players have joined the game. For more information about a player you can choose the player button to see his/her profile.
The ‘My Games’ button shows a list of games you've signed in for participation. If your plans have changed, choose the ‘Remove Team’ button to quit a game.
The letters of the starting time are shining green, when a game begins. Black letters means that you're host of the game, but not participating. Red letters stand for an upcoming game.
In ‘MyGames’ you can also see who's playing with you in a game.
‘Running Games’ shows the already started games. It depends on the game whether you can join a game that has already begun.
‘Past Games’ is a list of last games that were happening in past. Here you can review the game results.
The ‘Game Designer’ button allows to build up self-made games. Here you can realize your game.
We'll add another thread to explain how this works.
