Zinc session on WEDNESDAY (23rd)
Posted: Mon Feb 21, 2005 4:51 pm
Hello everybody,
I will be hosting a session on Zinc this Wednesday at 20.00 CET (that's Central European Time to you North Americans)
To make a long story short, Zinc allows players to play an adventure game together over the internet while chatting and exchanging ideas. Should be fun!
Zinc can be downloaded from:
http://zinc-if.sourceforge.net/
It requires JAVA which is available from:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html
[get the J2SE v 1.4.2_07 JRE - it's halfway down the page]
Once you've installed JAVA, run the Zinc setup file. After you've installed it, I suggest you use a few minutes to familiarize yourself with Zinc and how it works. It's not too complicated, it just requires a different way of thinking.
Now for the actual game. Fredrik Ramsberg has suggested a couple of games and in a blinding display of dictatorship I've picked out Dreamhold (http://www.ministryofpeace.com/if-review/) for our first session. Please note that you don't have to download the game, only I need it as my pc will act as server.
To play the game, log on to this server:
80.163.9.14 - port 4999
If you have any problems, I'll be on MSN (gunness@ofir.dk).
Hope to see you on Wednesday!
