icons in the upper right corner. Clicking the "square" icon resizes the window to its largest size. Clicking it again returns it to the previous size. Clicking the "dash" icon shrinks the window down to an icon at the bottom of the browser window:The client module is an HTML5 web app that is automatically served to the player's web browser when they connect to your site for the first time. This means the player does not have to install any new software to play at your site. The web app connects back to the server on a web socket port for two-way communication. All major browsers now support this capability, including Internet Explorer 10, Firefox 11, Chrome 14, Safari 6, and Opera 12.1. On tablets and smart phones with 640 x 480 resolutions or higher, the client module will work with iOS Safari 6 for iPhones and iPads and Chrome and Firefox for Android.
The client module can be configured for two different interfaces: Desktop and Mobile. Devices with touch capability are automatically set to Mobile mode, while non-touch devices are set to Desktop mode. However, the user can override this configuration from the Lobby menu if they choose. Both modes are touch-compatible and mouse-compatible.
The Desktop interface consists of a resizable/draggable lobby window with independent table windows (all within the canvas of the browser) that are also resizable/draggable.
The Lobby window and the table windows also have Minimize and Maximum icons in the upper right corner. Clicking the "square" icon resizes the window to its largest size. Clicking it again returns it to the previous size. Clicking the "dash" icon shrinks the window down to an icon at the bottom of the browser window:
Click these to restore selected windows to their previous size.
In the Mobile interface, the lobby is fixed to fill the entire browser window. An "Open tables" tab appears in Mobile mode and holds all the open tables. When this tab is selected, the remaining tabs are hidden to provide more space for the table graphic. The user can tap the house icon above the chat box to return to the lobby. Only one table at a time is visible in Mobile mode, but the user can switch to other open tables using the "Previous" and "Next" navigation buttons in the lower right corner. The table chat is moved to a separate window on the right side so that the betting controls can be enlarged.
Android and iPhone users need to enable auto-rotate mode on their phones and hold the device in landscape orientation to play. For best results, the screens need to be placed in full-screen mode to remove the URL bar. Instructions for that are provided on the Mobile Tips page.
