Sky Star War on Android: the complete guide

This guide teaches you to play Sky Star War on an Android phone with your fingers, from installing the app to earning money, without anybody's help. Read it from top to bottom once; later you can come back to any part. Everything works with TalkBack.

1. Install the game

• Open the Sky Star War page of hosting-ttserver.com.tr in the browser of your phone and choose the Android app (APK).
• Open the downloaded file. Android may ask you to allow installing apps from your browser: allow it, then choose Install.
• Open Sky Star War. When there is a new version, the game tells you at the start; say yes and install the new file the same way.

2. The most important idea: nine areas

• The game reads your fingers itself. Think of the screen as nine areas: three rows (top, middle, bottom), each with three parts (left, center, right). For example "middle right" is the right edge in the middle of the screen.
• What a gesture does depends on where your finger first touches the screen.
• A tap is a short touch. A double tap is two quick taps, a triple tap three. After a tap the game waits a moment to see whether another tap follows.
• A swipe is a quick slide of the finger in one direction.
• Gestures with two, three or four fingers only care about the row (top, middle, bottom), not the column.
• TalkBack: if TalkBack catches your gestures, go to Settings in the game, choose "speech" and switch to the game's own voice, then pause TalkBack while you play. You can also use the pass-through gesture of your phone.
• You can always connect a Bluetooth keyboard and use the keys of the computer game; fingers and keyboard work together.

3. Menus: one way for every menu

The main menu, settings, shops, lists, questions: every menu works the same.

• Swipe up or down with one finger: the previous or next item. Keep the finger on the screen to keep moving.
• Double tap anywhere: choose the item you are on.
• Tap with two fingers: back, or close the menu (like Escape).
• Swipe up and then down in one move: the first item. Down and then up: the last item.
• Swipe left or right: in menus with sub menus, close or open the sub menu.
• In forms (several boxes and buttons on one screen): swipe down with two fingers for the next box or button, up with two fingers for the previous one.

4. Create your account and log in

• The first time, the game shows its rules. Read them and accept.
• The main menu has: account, speaker test, settings and misc. Swipe to "account" and double tap.
• New player: choose "register". Type a name, a password and your email. Write the password down. Your email is used if you forget the password.
• Already have an account: choose "connect", then your saved account or a new login.
• Forgot your password: choose "reset forgotten password", type your name and email. A code comes to your email; type the code and choose a new password.

5. Typing: text boxes and the keyboard

• When the game asks you to type (chat, names, tickets), the phone keyboard opens by itself.
• Type, then press Enter or Done on the keyboard to send.
• A tap with two fingers cancels.
• If the keyboard does not come up, double tap once: an empty box brings the keyboard back instead of sending.
• Swipe left and right with one finger to move the cursor. Swipe right with two fingers to paste.
• When the game asks how many (buying, giving), a list of numbers opens: swipe to a number and double tap. "Type another number" opens the keyboard.

6. Your first minutes in the game
