Play using 2 computers
In order for a contest with different computers to be possible, a folder needs to be shared between the two players. This can be done in a local area folder, to which both have access, or if such a folder does not exist, in a folder accessed via internet with a Dropbox type system - something that is useful, eg for competitions between students from different schools.
- They select the previously shared folder (in Dropbox or elsewhere);
- The players write down their name and then select the icon of the "Shared folder".
- The first player - player A - creates a competition (clicking the button on the bottom left).
- Player A must set the previously agreed upon options for the game between the two players: the number of images and the difficulty level. Then s/he clicks the button
- Meanwhile, the other player (B) waits for a message from GeCla. When it appears, he accepts the competition, clicking
.
- As soon as player B accepts to start the game, player A is notified by GeCla.
- Both players start the game. While they are generating the images, they can exchange messages in the GeCla's chat (bottom, left).
- After both players finish the generation part, they will receive images from the opponent, to classify.
- When both players finish the classification, they receive the results from GeCla.
Dropbox (if necessary!)
- Install the Dropbox software on the computers. You can download it at: https://www.dropbox.com/
- Follow the instructions on the Dropbox software to share a folder between the two players.
