Although you can play on the website, that isn't fun yet. I'm working on it.

For now, the recommended way is to use your VGA Planets client locally on your computer. If you're installing anew, I recommend PCC2 because it's the only one that runs natively in Windows and Linux, but if you have a working dosbox installation, you can take anything you wish.

The server will give you two zip files (playerfiles.zip, player11.zip) that you unpack into a fresh directory along with your keyfile. Take your keyfile (fizz.bin) from one of your old games, or mail me privately to assist you in extracting it from your old client/an old game.

If you misplaced one of the zip files, you can always download them from the website.

After you did your turn, you upload the turn file to the website from your game's overview page, or you send an email by replying to the host email, and attach it.

Your game is still waiting for players, so don't have any of the cited files yet.
