Network Games

Lux Delux includes a network game finder. Open it from the main window using the Show Network Games button. Browsing the list to see the settings and people online. Network games include a chat, so say Hi when you join.

The chat area also accepts some Chat Commands to give more information or control the game. Type /help in the chat to see the full list.

Games where the host is not playing at the moment but left the room open appoint a 'guest host' who can restart the game in certain circumstances. If you join a room with nobody playing in it type /start to start a new game.

If you get disconnected from a game, you can re-join and you will regain your player.

You can play in more than one game at a time. When you are playing one game, just Join Game (Command/Control-J) to enter a second game. This is a great way to lose your concentration in both games and get your ass handed to you as both timers run down.

You can resize the Join Game window how you like. Grab the bottom right corner and drag to resize it.
