You should have a n00b help guide because when i invite people to play, they have no clue what to do so it takes a long time to explain.

Like this:
1) Go to http://www.onlineboxing.net/applet or download it here: http://onlineboxing.net/boxing/main/Web_Installers/onlineboxing.zip
2) Create a character and login.
3) Click "Servers" and choose a server.
4) Click "Rooms" and choose a room.

Challenges:
To challenge someone you must:
1) Be in a Room
2) Click "View Online".
3) Click a player name.
4) Click "Send challenge".

It would be very helpful to people who have no or very little experience at playing multiplayer online games.

It would also solve the problem where beginners ask everyone how to challenge people and no matter how much you tell them, they just don't understand. Putting it in a more simple format would make it understandable and less annoying to people who have to tell it to them.

What do you think?

I agree, I was actually thinking of doing that but never got around to doing it.

The setup instructions are in the Tech sub and there is an "instruction" link on the main site. But I see what you are saying and I may put one together if you guys think it is needed.


[code]
/** Call this method when you want to play OB.*/
public void playOb() {
getSomeBeers();
turnOnComputer();
loadOb();
while(moreBeers()) {
challengeSomeone();
fight();
trashTalk();
drinkABeer();
postAtForum();
}
if(sleepy) {
gotoBed();
}else {
playOb();
}
}
[/code]

we just need to go into practice mode then just slowly throw one of each punch then just record it using youtube or a different application. Then just photo shop the buttons for each punch so it is like a short video that would show the punch and the buttons used to throw that punch. Maybe put it as a link/option on the instructions page.

Nice idea Mike, I'll see what I can do when I get time.
