WAFFLE

Main Game instructions:

'WAFFLE' is a local multiplayer party/social deduction game about lying. It is designed for 3-8 players, each on phones, with a host PC administering the game.

Once all players are connected in accordance with the above instructions, and the 'Start Game' button is selected, the game will begin. Instructions will be displayed on-screen during each in-game round. Each client device will have different information displayed on it at any given time, depending on the roles they are assigned in the game.

Button Test instructions:

Selecting the 'Start Button Test' option on the main menu leads to the Button Test game scene. This is all of the functionality that was developed for Build 2 of the project, and demonstrates various mobile phone sensors and interactions being synchronised over a network. It is highly recommended to use this scene with a real Android device connected, rather than a PC window.

Setup instructions:

The game requires one instance of the game to act as the host, and all others to act as the clients. The recommended setup is as follows:

• Ensure that the host PC, and all client Android devices, are connected to the same WiFi network. The app will not function if this is not the case.
• Open the PC build, and select 'Host'. Permission may need to be granted to allow the app to communicate over public/private networks.
• Open the Android build on at least 2 and at most 8 devices.
• In the Android menu, enter the IP address that is being displayed on the PC's screen into the IP address field, and then press 'Join' on the Android menu.
• A successful connection has been established when a new player name appears on the right side of the host's screen.
• To set a name for each connected client, type this into the name field and press enter, but only after connecting.
• Once all clients are connected, select either the 'Start Game' or 'Start Button Test' button.

Alternatively, if this number of Android devices is not available for testing, the game can be tested on one PC.

Testing on a PC will mean that features such as vibration, camera, gyroscope and accelerometer are unavailable.

• Open 'Waffle.exe' in 9 windows at once. One of these windows will act as the Host, all 8 others will act as Clients. This does not require an internet connection.
• In the window for the host, select the 'Host' button on the menu.
• In the windows for the clients, enter the IP address displayed on the host window and select the 'Join' button on the menu.
• A successful connection has been established when a new player name appears on the right side of the host's window.
• To set a name for each connected client, type this into the name field and press enter, but only after connecting.
• Once all clients are connected, select either the 'Start Game' or 'Start Button Test' button.
