There are different pages you can navigate to when using DaSCR-Board. After setting up your players you will only be needing to navigate to two pages, though. Here is an overview of the different pages one can go to:
Choose the page you want to learn about in the navigation menu on the left.
For the ease of writing I will refer to the pages with url paths and ommiting the part http://localhost:8000
.

. It will let you have an overview of the different games running in the table at the page bottom. Also it will give you short instructions on how to start. The navigation symbol top left lets you navigate through different pages.

. It will let you add and remove player to the machine. There is no gameid specific player management. So all players added will be available to choose.
Add a player by insterting the name and the nickname (optional) in the corresponding form fields. You may want to upload a avatar picture. If so you can scale it in the players preview card to the right of the creation form using the mouse.
If you do not upload an image one out of 9 animal avatar images will be chosen randomly.
You can delete a player by hitting the Delete button in the available player card.
