Pidgin Quick Guide

  1. Create an account: Accounts/Manage/Add…
  • Protocol: XMPP
  • Username: your numeric id. It’s the number before “@chat.codingame.com” at the bottom of the FAQ
  • Domain: chat.codingame.com
  • Password: your CG account password. Rumor has it you can pretend you forgot it and create one if your account was registered through Google+.
  • the rest is optional

  1. Activate it (tick the checkbox in the account list)

  2. Fetch the room list: Tools/Room List…/Get List. (If you’ve got other XMPP accounts configured in Pidgin, be sure to select the right one.) The server to query is conference.codingame.com

  3. The english speaking room is “general”, but don’t click Join just yet! To appear with your actual pseudonmy instead of your number, click “Add Chat” instead.

  4. Update “Handle” with your CG pseudonym.

You’re all set!

Bonus: reducing join/part noise

It’s in Tools/Plugins:

Enable it, “Configure Plugin”, tune at will.

French locale users: the plugin’s known as « Dissimulation des Join/Part ». (thx SaiksyApo, thank him by liking his post below that’s enough for now, you can like my own post if it was useful to you for a change)
