The whole point of the game is to battle against eachother, speedrunning through a level finding the best possible tricks to achieve faster and faster times. Therefore we need levels, plenty of them. <br\><br\>

On a regular day, over thirty battles are played in Belma, so everyone is welcome to make levels. However, there is a certain Level Designing Etiquette in Belma!

startballe.exe

With this executable you can start a battle. There might be a battle on, but don't worry, there is a queue(one level per user).<br\><br\>

Always be careful what level you are starting, what kind of a battle will it be, what is the duration and so on. The moderators can easily get annoyed if you start a regular battle on Internal 1: warm up! Starting internal battles is not recommended most of the time. However if there have been no battles for ten minutes or longer period of time, an internal battle should be fine.<br\><br\>

If something happens to go wrong, you can ask moderators to abort your battle. Wisest is to say it when your level is in queue, if possible<br\><br\>

There are many types of battles that you can start. The most common and favoured battle is a regular hidden (See others unchecked) battle on an external level. But there are many more battle types.

Never start a battle on an old level, this is the most important thing about starting battles. The whole point is that nobody knows the level beforehand.
