Setting up the iPod Touch:
1. in ipod Settings, select the correct network, e.g. SlorkNet
2. launch TouchOSC on the ipod
3. in TouchOSC settings set host to the IP address or name of your laptop
4. note the IP address of the iPod touch.

Setting up the chuck patch (for players):
1. open chuckball-catch.ck
2. on line 14 set player_number to which player you are (eg 0 for player 1, 1 for player 2, ..., 3 for player 4.)
3. on lines 18-22 set the IP addresses or machine names for all four players and the conductor.
4. on line 25 set the IP address of your iPod Touch.

Setting up the chuck patch (for the conductor):
1. open conductor-sender.ck
2. on lines 9-12 set the IP addresses or machine names for the four players.

Start TouchOSC: on the ipod launch TouchOSC and enter the first screen in the "Simple" layout.
