JNetCube

[Inferno.Fighter.IV]

I was just wondering how you use this function (e.g. what does server Ip, handicap, port ect.)

Thanks in advance.

I have never used it but I am very interested in this function because of the "live competition". If anyone knows more, please tell us how this works.

"Start a server": will start a server (listening on specified port)
"Connect": will connect to an already existing server at the specified IP address and the specified port.

You can test for yourself: open JNetCube, start a server on port 32123, open a new instance of JNetCube and connect to IP = localhost and port = 32123.

Unfortunately I don't think that there can be more than 2 people cubing on the server.

I don't know what's the handicap.

For online competitions CCT might be better.

That's correct. Only 2 people can be connected to a server.

If you wanted to host a server, you would have to forward the ports and allow incoming TCP and UDP through your firewall.

That's too bad. We won't be able to use this for our online-competition.

Just a guess, but I think "handicap" would be used as follows:
Erik and Arnaud compete. Erik has an average of 15, Arnaud has an average of 25. To make the competition more exciting, Erik would get a 10 second handicap.

good plan

I tried it this way and must say that jnetcube is REALLY nice for 1on1. CCT is confusing, i tried with erik. It seems, that you can only use it if you have a stackmat connected.

Just check "Use keyboard timer" in CCT and you're set.

No didn't work on the server...Or at least Erik and me couldn't figure it out.
(I was talking about the network function of CCT in my post)
