But for local games I changed it such that anything can be entered, and that user name is automatically created. For the first run after installation the full username as defined in kdecore.KUser is proposed. > The default screen could simply be a combo box to select the > rules, and a start button.

There is always a game server involved, I do not want to obscure this too much. But I committed some more changes: 1. in the server combo box, a new entry "Local Game" (in the local language of course) 2. if that entry is selected, the login dialog does not ask for a password but instead for a ruleset. 3. if you login with server == 'Local Game', a game against 3 robots is automatically started without further dialogs 4. For local games, the game server is no longer connected over TCP but over a Unix socket - so no port is opened 3. localhost for the server has no special meaning anymore, so if you enter localhost, the server starts using TCP and the table list appears. This is still useful - just give your IP out to other players, and they can connect to your game server - your firewall allowing this. The manual is not yet updated. I hope this makes it easy enough. Just press on the "play a game" toolbar button and hit Return or Space in the login dialog. -- Wolfgang _______________________________________________ kde-games-devel mailing list kde-games-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-games-devel
