1) Obtaining HELP - by clicking on the right (green) rim of a HUD you wil receive this notecard with instructions.

3) Specifying your opponent - You must specify your opponent in a game, which is done by clicking the upper (yellow) rim of a HUD. When you click it, the dialog box is open saying a name of avatar. nearest to you. If it is OK, you just confirm it by clicking a SUBMIT or IGNORE button.

After end of a game (or after reset) those numbers are cleared or it can be done by clicking on a central area of a HUD (bud there is no use to do it in the middle of game and it clears itself when game ends).
