Getting Started

Logging In for the First Time

Your teacher will give you your username and login code.

How to Log In

  1. Go to the ClassMana website
  2. Click "Student Login"
  3. Type in your name and login code, exactly as your teacher gave it to you
    • You can use uppercase or lowercase - both work!
  4. Click "Log In"

That's it! No password needed. Just your code.

Keep Your Code Safe

  • Write it down somewhere you won't lose it
  • You'll need it every time you log in
  • If you forget it, ask your teacher - they can look it up
  • Don't share your code with others

First Time Setup

The first time you log in, you'll:

  1. Be able to create your avatar
  2. Get a chance to customize it
  3. Learn about the different features
  4. See your starting stats

Understanding Your Dashboard

When you log in, you'll see your main dashboard. Here's what everything means:

Your Avatar

The big 3D character on the screen - that's you! As you level up, you can change how they look and what gear they wear.

Your Stats

These are the important numbers:

Experience:

  • Shows how much Experience you have
  • Progress bar shows how close you are to leveling up
  • You need 1000 Experience Points to reach the next level
  • Example: 650/1000 Experience means you need 350 more to level up

Level:

  • Your current level (starts at 1)
  • Goes up to level 35
  • Higher levels = cooler gear unlocked

Mana:

  • Your mana points (like magic power)
  • Maximum of 5 mana
  • Use mana to cast powers
  • Gets refilled when you level up
  • Your teacher might also give you mana on certain days

Health (if your class uses it):

  • Your health points (maximum of 10)
  • Goes down if you get strikes
  • If it reaches 0, you become "fallen"
  • Usually resets weekly

Gold (if your class uses it):

  • Your gold coins
  • Earn gold for special achievements
  • Spend it in the shop
  • Save up for cool rewards!

What Are Stages?

Your teacher will unlock new features gradually. These are called "stages":

Stage 1 - Rewards & Powers:

  • You earn Experience and level up
  • You can use powers (your teacher activates them for you)

Stage 2 - Student Avatars:

  • You get a login (that's when you can use this guide!)
  • You customize your own avatar
  • You can request powers yourself

Stage 3 - Health System:

  • Health and strikes are enabled
  • Consequences for breaking rules

Stage 4 - Gold & Shop:

  • You earn and spend gold
  • Buy rewards from the class shop

Stage 5 - Teams:

  • Coming soon!

Stage 6 - Hero Types:

  • Coming soon!

Your teacher decides which stages to enable and when. Not all classes use all stages.

Tips for New Players

Explore:

  • Click around and see what everything does
  • Check out the different menu options
  • Look at your classmates' avatars

Ask questions:

  • If you don't understand something, ask your teacher
  • Or ask a classmate who's been playing longer
  • There are no dumb questions!

Be patient:

  • You'll learn as you go
  • It might seem confusing at first but you'll get it
  • Focus on earning Experience and having fun

Check regularly:

  • Log in often to see your progress
  • Check if you have enough mana to use powers
  • See if you've unlocked new gear
