3. How to use <strong>BrettspielWelt</strong><br />
You need a computer and a working Internet connection to play in <strong>BrettspielWelt</strong>. Playing happens<br />
using your browser or a separate <strong>BrettspielWelt</strong> client program (BSW players talk simply about<br />
client). All games in BSW are programmed using Java language so you need to have Java support<br />
installed on your computer. If necessary, you can install Java from this address (www.java.com)<br />
using Download link. You don’t need a specific operating system or a browser so long as Java support<br />
is installed and works properly.<br />
In this example we will play using a browser interface. You can find more information<br />
about the separate BSW client from chapter 9. Playing starts by choosing<br />
the right language and pressing Play button on the front page of<br />
www.brettspielwelt.de. Your browser starts the Java support and retrieves the<br />
gaming interface. In the meanwhile it asks our username and password.<br />
Type your username into Name field and your password<br />
to Password field. Sound on/off lets you choose whether<br />
you hear the sound effects from the games or not. Typically<br />
it makes sense to keep the sound on so that you notice<br />
the changes in taking turns not only by seeing but<br />
also by sound. Note! On the first time it takes longer to<br />
start the playing system because you computer loads<br />
game components from the server. If you experience<br />
any problems in starting the client (e.g. you don’t see graphics) restart you browser and try again.<br />
When you log in the first thing you’ll see is the <strong>BrettspielWelt</strong> game window in English and within<br />
it Game Manager (Spiele Manager) which is used to start new games.<br />
<strong>BrettspielWelt</strong> is organized around the theme of medieval cities and player communities form their<br />
own towns. There are houses in the towns and within those houses the rooms where all games in<br />
BSW run. There is no need to know more about the town theme if you want to just play board<br />
games. The majority of players in BSW play board games without belonging to any specific town. If<br />
you are interested more about the communities and towns, check chapter 10.<br />
