GameHub – Quick guide
Getting started
- Register or login (email + password).
- Set your language in the top right.
- To use extended features you must accept the Terms (banner).
Open games
- The “Games” section lists the available games.
- Use “open” to open a game in a new tab.
Online & rooms
- Online games run in “rooms”. You can share a direct room link: `?room=ROOMCODE`.
- Online games always include chat on the start screen and on the end screen.
- With invites / “Parties” you can save rooms and invite specific players.
Tournaments
- Tournaments are created under “Parties” (KO or round robin) and automatically generate match rooms.
- Match results are imported automatically from the game end state. If the hub can’t map the winner unambiguously, voting/host override remains as a fallback.
AI (GameHub AI)
- AI moves are computed via the hub: you must be logged in to the hub.
- In local AI games you can configure AI A vs AI B (A vs B or B vs A).
- AI display names come from the hub. With an “own AI” license you can name your AI and select it.
- Your own AI can also be used in online games and is labeled as “YourName (AI)” inside the game.
- AI games are tracked separately and do not count as human-vs-human stats.
Rate limits / “slow mode”
- If you exceed the AI limit, the hub delays responses (instead of hard blocking). The client shows “slow mode” — just wait; it should not time out.
Profile
- Your profile shows your runtime/variant (if active), “valid until” and your game points.
- Buying/extending is done via your profile (checkout). Afterwards you can view payment history and download a receipt.
Plans / variants
- Free: core features (games, profile, game points, basic statistics).
- Paid variants: depending on the variant e.g. points (unlock content/features in selected games), invites/parties, higher AI usage, own AI, advanced statistics.
Important
- Points are virtual and only usable within OptiGameHub.
- Points can unlock content/features in selected games.
