<h2>1.1 What is Thousand Parsec?</h2>
<p>
Thousand Parsec is a framework to build turn based space empire building game. You can find out
more information on the <a href="/tp/gettingstarted.php">Getting Started</a> page.
</p>
<?php include "bits/end_section.inc" ?>
<?php include "bits/start_section.inc" ?>
<a name="1-2"></a>
<h2>1.2 Is Thousand Parsec related to <a href="http://www.parsec.org">Parsec?</a></h2>
<p>
No. They are completely different games.

<?php include "bits/start_section.inc" ?>
<a name="1-3"></a>
<h2>1.3 On which operating system can I play Thousand Parsec?</h2>
<p>
This depends on the client you are using to play the game. Thousand Parsec is
a free and open source project so clients can be made for any operating system. Currently
the most usable client is wxPython based client (tpclient-pywx). It is known to run
on GNU/Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.

<h2>1.4 Can I only make/build/play turn based space strategy games?</h2>
<p>
While this is was we are primarily working on, other genre of turn based games
might be possible. Have a look at the <a href="dev/documents/protocol3.php">protocol document</a>
to see if it would capture your design. Note that there is still a lot of procotol development, and
we are still adding concepts.

<h2>3.1 I found a bug!</h2>
<p>
Please report the bug using the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/thousandparsec/issues/list">Google Code issue tracker.</a>.
If you don't think you can use the bug tracker just send an email to the
<a href="/tp/mailman.php/listinfo/">mailing lists</a> or post on the <a href="/forums">forums</a>.
</p><p>
Telling us on IRC will increase the likelyhood of the bug getting forgotten!

<h2>3.2 Nothing happens when a new turn starts</h2>
<p>
When a new turn starts the new status of the game is only computed on the server. This new state of the game
is currently not automatically downloaded by Thousand Parsec client. To update the status you need to select
the command <em>Download the Universe</em> from the <em>File</em> menu.
</p>

<h2>3.3 Where can I find a server?</h2>
<p>
The best place to start looking is the <a href="http://metaserver.thousandparsec.net">metaserver</a>.
It keeps an uptodate list of all the currently active public servers.
</p><p>
You can also try downloading and running your own server.
