Set your password (at least one character) here. You should do this when you first use the system, as the default is too easy. It's up to you to make sure your password is secure. You will be logged out after doing so.

You should set the e-mail address to your address, as the system (or system administrator) will mail you if it has issues. You will be logged out after doing so.

In order to send e-mails to players, you need to configure a valid e-mail sending service. If you mess up, you can always fix this information after the game starts and re-try e-mails that failed to send.

The e-mail address will appear as the from address on all e-mails the system sends out. Make sure this is a real address so participants can write to you! The server is your SMTP server. It must be encrypted (SSL/TLS), and be in the form smtp://the.server.name:port, where the port is usually 25, 465, or 587. (It can be anything, though.) The username and password are used to log into your server. Your password is stored on the gamelab server: make sure it's something random and not used elsewhere!

The following are your games. To delete a game, click the symbol alongside.

You may add games by specifying a name and payoffs. The name is never shown to players. Payoffs must follow the usual top-left to bottom-right order, one payoff per player (row player first).

Players in your experiment. To delete a player, just click the symbol alongside. Players marked with are captive.

Add players to the game using this form. Players consist of e-mail addresses separated by white-space (newlines, tabs, spaces, whatever). If you set the Allow Captive Players toggle, then players may add themselves. Captive players will not be e-mailed when the experiment is started, nor will they be remembered when the experiment is wiped.

Note: you have opted for a captive experiment. To enter the captive portal, your players will need to access @HTURI@/playerautoadd.html in order to log in. Once you start the experiment, captive players will be disabled, but you can enable it again if you wish to continue adding players.

Commit your experiment parameters and start here. Once you start your experiment, you can't reconfigure.

At a minimum, you'll need to enter the address for logging in (sent in players' welcome email — you probably don't want to change this), the start date and time in GMT , the number of rounds, minutes per round, and instructions (in HTML5 markup) that will be shown to players.

Additionally, set rounds per player (zero to be all rounds); to the percent of players per player role who, upon playing, will cause the round to advance (zero not to auto-advance); as the minimum time for the percentage to take affect so as to allow players to have a chance at playing; and lastly, to the maximum number of simulataneous players per player role (0, the default, for all initial players).
