Bridge Wars FAQ

Bridge Wars FAQ

The buttons have no words! What do I do?
To make this game available in multiple languages, I used pictures for most buttons. However, the text box in the upper-left corner will show what each of the buttons do when you hover your mouse over them. This should help for learning most of the buttons!

How do I begin a game?
Fist, create an account via the "New User" button on the login screen. After filling in all of the information, clicking the "Create New User" button, and completing the BLockoban-style validation (move the green block to the finish block using arrow keys, and click on the grey blocks to move those as well), you will be moved to the Lobby. Either create a New Room via the upper-right "+" block, or click on one of the existing rooms that shows up as a bridge space. Next, change the game settings on the bottom left, and make sure to click the check mark at the bottom to save! Finally, click the "Ready" check mark underneath your name, and wait for others to join!

How do you play?
Use the left and right arrow keys to move your character around the bridge. When your turn comes up, you can choose between "Break" (first option) and "Build" (second option) [the third option, "Cards", hasn't been implemented yet]. If you chose to "break", click on a space you want to attack. If you chose to "build", click which tile you want to build, and then click on an empty bridge space to build it!

What do the tiles do?
The first tile (brownish-red) is a wood tile. It breaks after one attack.
The second tile (light blue) is a ice tile. For now, it acts as a wood tile, but in the future, it will make you slide around considerably more.
The third tile (grey) is a metal tile. It takes two attacks to break.

What else can I do?
In the Lobby, you can add and delete up to 50 friends, add and remove up to 50 blocked users, send and delete up to 50 inbox messages to friends, check which cards you have, and buy items from the store! These can be done by clicking on each of the tabs in the bottom-left corner, and clicking the "+" or "-" buttons where applicable. To buy items, click on the up arrows to increase the amount of items, and double-click on the item to buy.

What are the numbers on top in the Lobby?
They are as follows, left-to-right: Days Played, Time Played Today, Time Played This Week, Username, Level (EXP), Games Played

Why can't I chat?
In the game, click on the symbols on the bottom-right to change the chat functions. Usually, a new player would only be able to choose the two right-most options (No Chat and Quick Chat). I've also opened up Dictionary Chat to testing. When using Quick Chat, press the up and down arrows to scroll through the chat options. When using Dictionary Chat, please note proper nouns and words ending in -ed aren't in the dictionary yet.
