Quick Facts:

• CapSha 1.1 is FREEWARE. You are not obliged in any way to pay for it.
• I test the program under Windows XP, but it should work well under Windows 98 and up.
• You will need Msvbvm60.dll to run the program. I suppose most computers already have this file.
• I disclaim any responsibility for any bad effects arising from the use of this program.
• No warranty is given for the performance of the program.

Quick Tips - Hosting and Joining:

• Playing the game requires 2-4 people. One will be the host, and the rest will connect to this host. So one of you should click "Host a game" and see what the address is. Then let your friends know this address, so that they can join you (by clicking "Join a game").
• Only the host can start the game. So if you are joining a game, please be patient as the host is probably waiting for other players to come in.
• Before hosting/joining a game, make sure you enter your name correctly. You can also change your picture. Any 50x50 pixels image will do, but the file size cannot be bigger than 20,000 bytes.
• You can change the data port via registry, but this option is available for computer-savvy users only. Therefore I will not show you how. (Hint: do a search for "CapSha" in registry!)

Quick Tips - Playing the Game:

• Use [Left Arrow] and [Right Arrow] to move the little dot under your cards. Press [Space] to toggle the selected card. And [Enter] to SEND the card(s). Press [P] if you want to PASS.
• Press [C] to show/hide the Chat Window. Press [A] to show the About box. Press [Q] to quit the game.
• You can double click a player's picture to save it!
• Your opponents' number of wins is displayed right after their names (inside parentheses).
• Once a player gets disconnected, it is possible to continue the game but this is NOT RECOMMENDED.

Quick Tips - Chatting:

• While the Chat Window is active, you can press [Escape] or [Alt-C] to hide it.
• Press [Up Arrow] or [Down Arrow] to browse through your sent chat.
• ALL connected players receive what you send, so be careful (do not send sensitive data).
• You can right-click the big text box to save the chat!

Quick Tips - Customising the Deck:

• Let's assume you run the program from C:\CapSha\.
• You can customise the deck by modifying the image files contained in C:\CapSha\Images\.
• Browse through the image files; they are self-explanatory.
• You can change the images but keep them at the SAME SIZE.

Well that's all. I think the interface of the program is self-explanatory, so... enjoy =)
