Main Chat window
The main chat window has a scrolling message area (your outgoing messages and incom-
ing messages from other people appear here), a channel (or “room”) list, a user list and
a typing area. Once you’ve joined a channel (by double clicking on its name in the
channel list) the user list changes to show the user names of other users in that channel.
Joining Internet Head-to-Head Game
Open games are denoted by a C&C icon in the channel list window. Other
channels may be chat channels or other types of games. To join an open C&C95
game, simply double click on its name in the window.
Once you have joined an open game you’ll see the familiar channels list, message area, typ-
ing area and user list, along with a game options area. As a joiner you can only select the
side you want to play and color; instead you can type messages to the host requesting that
other options be changed. If at any time you are not happy with the options you can simply
leave the channel. Once you are happy with the game options, indicate this to the host and
he can then go ahead and start the game. Once the host clicks on the START THE GAME!
button, C&C95 will automatically start.
