Getting Started

Post by Samami »

Aloha,
I've read through the setup articles (several times). I'm having a hard time getting started.
I'm following the hearts tutorial.
What is "normal" for creating a game?
  • Right now I create the tutorial game project using the control panel
  • Then when I go to Play Now to start the game there is nothing to the right of the game, ie the "Create a New Table" div is not there at all. I can usually get that to show up by logging out and back in, but that's been inconsistent.
  • After that when I do get it to show up I add my 4 players. It let's me add them, but then when I click express start, nearly always nothing happens. A refresh sometimes helps with that.
  • If I do get a game to start it always has a single player, not me plus my other three dummy accounts.
Am I doing something wrong?
What is this process supposed to look like?
Mahalo,
Sam

  • Click Express start

Thank you. I'm getting some things to work with hard refreshes, but still can't get 4 players in a game.
Here is a video from start to finish of what's happening.

Thanks for any advice.

There was some error creating project. Also sometimes it takes few hours to appear in the list for some reason, maybe wait a try tomorrow?
