Is there currently a publicly accessible Croquet space on the Internet?

Re: A public Croquet space on the Internet

I suspect the question was if there was a space out on the internet where one could connect and possibly find other people already hanging out. Does the example below do that or simply create a new space locally on your computer?

Cheers,
Bob

Re: A public Croquet space on the Internet

The KAT demo space can either connect to the public server's group of
spaces or create a local space, depending on whether you accept the
server name that you get prompted with or just erase it. I have
occasionally run into others hanging out there ...

That seems an overly complex way of launching. The simple steps at

http://www.croquetcollaborative.org/wordpress/?page_id=5

worked fine on my Mac. Followed by hitting the 'Press me' button, as
described in the project workspace that is open on the first screen.
Take your pick.

As David F. said, this KAT server is a nice space where you just might
meet someone else.

Does anyone know if the server at www.croquetcollaborative.org is actually up at this moment? IOW, is something broken on my end or theirs?

Cheers,
Bob

No connection from here in the UK either. My guess it that the KAT
demo is temporarily down.

That's great, although it seems to have died just this minute.

Also, what are the audible clicks?

And so it has. Now reset, but it's pretty slow.

I'm not certain, but I think there have been a bunch of folks
connecting lately with older (e.g., SDK) images.

Re: A public Croquet space on the Internet

I am using the 1.0.18.9 image downloaded from your web site. The server has gone down three times today while I was looking at it. There was another rabbit on-screen in at least two of these cases. If older software is a problem, why not disallow it or at least have the server alert the user when connecting? Or maybe add a dunce cap to their avatar. ;-)

WRT the clicks - can they also indicate a server crash is more probable? Does it make sense to do anything other than slow down mouse movement?

Cheers,
Bob

It may be my imagination, but there seems to be quite a bit of network traffic when nothing discernable is happening.

Re: A public Croquet space on the Internet

Well, I managed to connect (for the first time ever!) last night, after
downloading the most recent version (my older version wouldn't connect at all).
It was very 'laggy', though still usable, but I didn't hear any clicks. I was
just pleased to finally get connected!

There was another rabbit avatar, but whoever it was didn't seem to be active.
