cd path/to/the/repository/MiniatureGolf/Game

love .

It is important that you are in the /Game folder as the code relies on a valid path to the /Server folder

If you are the host, select "Host Game" and choose a port number. If you leave this blank, port 7777 will be automatically assigned to you.

When you click "Create game", please wait a moment for a game to start. There will likely be a firewall popup. Please accept this.

Navigate back to Love if your terminal opens up (Please do not close this terminal).

Once you host it, your local IP address will be displayed to share with your players.

Start the game once everyone has joined. Players will not be able to join once the server begins.

If you are joining your friend's game, select "Join Game" and input the local IP address and port exactly as displayed on your friend's screen.

Wait until the host starts the game. Once you leave the game, you will not be able to re-join.
