                  - For a local game launch the GtkAtlantic server first.
                  - Launch the client an click on "Enter".
                  - To join to a public server click on "Refresh games", select
                    a server and click on "Create/Join Game".
                  - To create a game on the local server, click on "Get games",
                    select the local sevrer in the list and then on
                    "Create/Join Game".
