Play on ICCS

Connect ICCS Server

Please specify the ICCS server name and port number. Also input your ICCS username and password.
If you don't have an ICCS username, you may choose your username and password. After you connect the server, it will prompt you to enter the password again. If your username is not used by others, your username is valid and you are now a guest user. Please use "register" command to register your username as a registered user. (Please refer the "Send command" section on how to send command.) For example, if your email address is abc@xyz.com. Please send the command "register abc@xyz.com". Check your email and find the password which the server assigns for you. Return to Learner, and change your password by sending "passwd assigned-password your-password" to change your password. Next time when you connect, use your own password.

You may also specify the player list which you don't want to play with. Simply input his/her name in the edit box and click the "Add" button. By selecting a name and click the "Delete" button, you delete him from the list.

Click the OK button. The ICCS terminal window pops up. You can see everything you send to and received from the server (like telnet). Please Do not close this terminal when you are playing.
If your username and password are correct, you are connected. Now you may play game or watch other people play, both online.
