OOGA Manual

OOGA was designed with the intention of making it the easiest for the user to play and enjoy the games included. For this reason, a menu bar has been included at the top of the screen. In this menu bar are all the things a player woudl need todo in order to set up and play any game.

There are 3 options in the menu bar.

The first option, the File menu, presents Choose Game and End Game.

Choose Game allows the user to start up a new game of their choice and ends any games running. When the game opens up, the board of the game will be in a moveable window and the scoreboard will be in the background. End Game simply ends any games running and closes the board window and the scoreboard.

The second option, the Options menu, presents Setup and Add Player.

Setup pops up a window in which the user can enter information necessary for the set up of the particular chosen game. Add Player opens a window in which the user can enter player information necessary once again for the particular chosen game. The windows that open for each of these choices are specified for the current game, so there is no need to worry about leaving some things blank.

The third and last option, the Help Menu, presents OOGA Manual, Games Manual, and About OOGA.

The OOGA manual is this page. The Games Manual opens a page that provides help for the individual games. Lastly, About OOGA opens a page with information about the entire project. These windows are not the actual webpages, simply the text of the webpages. If you wish to go to the webpage, click on About OOGA and read the web address off the bottom of the page, or simply go directly to http://www.duke.edu/~mcp8/ooga.
