Jags 0.5-beta notes - Apr 9, 1998
=================================

Written by Vincent Mallet & Kristell Lozac'hmeur,

Jags has been written in Java, using the JDK 1.1.5 and the JFC 1.1
(we used the swings 1.0.1 classes).

All classes relative to Jags are located in the game package.

There are two main classes : the Jags server and the Jags client.

To run the server, you must
 1- download and uncompress the games to plug into the server (such as Scrobble for Jags,
    TicTacToe for Jags)
 2- configure the server by editing the GameServer.properties file
 3- configure the games loaded into the server by editing the GameFactory.properties file	
 4- launch the server: 
      java game.GameServer


To run the client, you must
 1- have the swing 1.0.1 classes path in your java CLASSPATH 
 2- launch the client: 
      java game.GameClient
    (due to a known bug, you have to be in the "game" directory before
     lauching the client, so it can retrieve the needed icons. This bug
     will be fixed in future versions).
 3- then open a server (File->open menu), choose and join a game, and play !

Have fun !
