== Downloading the game ==
You can run it directly using [http://arianne.sourceforge.net/jws/stendhal.jnlp Java Webstart] (this means you do not need to download anything, just click the webstart link and if Java is installed on your system the game will start) or you can download the compiled java program to your computer at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1111
 
The best way is to use the Java Webstart as you will get updates automatically.
 
(Note: Java webstart will create a folder on your machine which will contain some necessary files for the game to run successfully. These files are small and inobtrusive so please do not worry about it)
 
=Controls and Game settings=
To control stendhal you need to use both a mouse and keyboard.
 
==Starting the game==
To launch Stendhal use [http://arianne.sourceforge.net/jws/stendhal.jnlp Java webstart] or by running the <b>stendhal-0.XX.jar</b> file that is in the stendhal download package.
 
''(Tip: Create a shortcut to this link on your machine so you dont have to come to the site everytime you want to play, you can just double click your shortcut)''
