-===== Service API (if exists) =====
+===== Playing the Game =====
-Service API (if exists)
+To try and play the game, you'll need a Android device with GPS enabled.
-  * ''getService()'' Returns Service
-  * ''myMethod()'' Returns Service
+Download the Core Server project and the Android Client project.
+  git clone https://github.com/stockrt/InvisibleBattlefields.git
-===== Service Usage =====
+First you need to start the gateway and Core Server. You should change this local IP address to your own IP Address.
-How to use the service.
+  gateway 127.0.0.1 5500
-<file java Hello.java>
+Now you only need to open the InvisibleBattlefieldsSDDLCore project and run the Java Application on Eclipse, BattleCoreServer.java.
-public class Hello {
-   public static void main(String args[]) {
+Since the actual Android Client wasn't entirely properly tested, we suggest you to run our Test Client, BattleCoreClient.java, to check the communications with the Server. It uses exactly the same listeners and communication strategy as the Android Client.
-        // Teste
-        double x = 2;
+You just need to update you IP address onto the client file:
+<file java HelloCoreClient.java>
+public class BattleCoreClient implements NodeConnectionListener {
+	private static String gatewayIP = "127.0.0.1"; //update with your IP address
+        //.......
+   }
+}
+</file>
+Finally, if you want to try the Android Client, you need to open the InvisibleBattlefieldsClient project and generate a "apk" file to install on your device (you can also try to run the application directly on a android emulator, but it's not recommended).
+Again, you have to update the IP Address that you'll be using on this specific file:
+<file java CommunicationTask.java>
+public class CommunicationTask extends AsyncTask<Void, byte[], Boolean> {
+	private String ipAddress = "127.0.0.1"; //update with your IP address
+        //.......
    }
 }
 </file>
+And that's it, you should be able to run the game and communicate with the Core Server now. Since it's a work-in-progress, you probably won't be able to use all game functionalities as of writing.
