Player's Manual
NOTE: these wiki pages are out of date!
Some basic info pertinent to players. If you want to learn how to be a programmer in room.js, read the Programmer's Manual.
To connect to a room.js server, point to the host and port that the server is running on in your web browser:
- The demo is running at http://rjs.infinitymotel.net/
- A locally running server would be accessible at http://localhost:8888/
Once the client connects, you'll get a welcome message. To send commands to the server, type them into the input box at the bottom of the client, and hit enter.
To create a new account enter the command create
. A modal dialog will show up asking you for your account details.
To login to an existing account type login
and enter your username and password.
Each account has a username and a player name. The username is used for logging in, the player name is what's displayed in-game to other players.
Once you log in you will most likely be in a starting location of some sort. In the example database and in the demo, this is The Forest Clearing
. You interact with the world by typing commands to perform actions. Some simple commands to try out first could be:
-
look
(might print out a description of where you are) -
say Hello!
(make your character say something) -
go north
(go in a direction, might move you to another location) -
take sword
(if there's a sword in the location you're in, you can pick it up like this) -
help
(might print a list of some basic commands, or help you get started in some way)
