Gamemaster

Once logged in to http://gamemaster.djeeo.net, users will see the start page which displays the main menu (see Figure 3.2) and two lists of games. The top list shows the games that are in the process of configuration, while the lower list shows games that have been transferred to Game. All navigation within Gamemaster will begin from this start page and its main menu.

Main Menu

Before DJEEO can be played, the game needs to be configured. The following four parts must be created and selected for each individual game:

1.    Subject Packs (the subject-specific content)
2.    Courses (setting up the routes)
3.    Teams (setting up the playing teams)
4.    GPS Equipment (devices used to send the various teams' positions to the base).

Once the above four parts have been prepared, the user must select the ”Create New Game” function. After a game has been in configured it will show in the list below. It has to be readied before you can use it. Until it is readied you can correct configuration. Click Ready and the game will be transferred to Game and is ready to use. Don't forget to print the Gamemaster instructions, the Team instruction and the Assignment booklet before the game is readied!
