Major Use Cases

Before joinning a game

• Create a New Game: This use case allows the user to create a new game in the current server. The user will first input the configurations of the same game, such as number of players allowed, size of the space, etc. After this he will wait for other players in the chatroom of the said game, allowing players to chat between themselves before the game starts.
• Join an Existing Game: This one allows the user to see all the games created by the previous use case in the current server that are not yet started. By choosing among those, he is able to become a player in the said game, entering the chatroom of the game until it starts.
• Choose a Nickname: This is used to change the name by which the user is known in a server. The nickname is visible on chat messages and on the ship that that player controls. Each nickname is unique in each server, so if the user tries to change to a nick that is already in use, he will be propted with a failure message.
• Choose Vehicle: Through this use case, the user is able to change the appearance of his ship. The various figures that may be used as ships by the program will be presented to the user and he will choose one to represent him.
