Contest release update!
We are very excited for today's update, which introduces "Contests", to replace "Duels". Contests will allow you, the players, to make your own puzzles and compete directly with your friends or classmates. You get to decide the protein, the duration, and who gets to compete!
To access contests, after signing in to the game, choose "Contests" from the main menu.
You should see a list of any contests you are registered for. If not, you can use the button at the bottom of the contest menu to create your own! Give it a title, a description, and choose the protein you want to compete with. On the webpage for the contest, you'll find a link that you can send to anyone you want to be able to compete. If they follow the link, they'll be registered for the contest as well. Don't forget to join the contest yourself!
For now, the puzzle needs to be selected from a list. We'll be adding some new puzzles to choose from soon. However, we plan to allow you to upload your own custom puzzles in the future!
