how to use
on opening the app homepage you will be presented with two options.
- create a connection
- join a connection
creating a connection
- fill in the details accordingly. the port number is a combination of any 4 numbers, and the nickname is any silly name you can think of ;) (btw, it has to be 5 or more letters).
n.b: take note of the ip address displayed on the page you're redirected to after creating the connection. this will be the ip address that others will connect to.
joining a connection
- get the ip address of the server you want to connect to.
- enter the ip in the field where it says 'port'
- slot in any nickname you'd like to (p.s: it too shouldn't be shorter than 5).
nb: your downloads are located in ....../{user_dir}/Documents/hermez.
"user_dir" is the USERS's root directory NOT the computer's root directory.
