#Decide what level you are going to play. Obtain the IP address of the player that will be hosting. If you get tired of dealing with IP addresses, players can sign up for a [http://www.noip.com/ No-IP] domain and provide that URL to players instead, e.g. joe-onifan.ddns.net.

*[http://www.noip.com/ No-IP.com] can be used to set up a domain for someone who wants to host frequently, allowing the easier exchange of host addresses with joiners than giving out the host's IP address.

*If the performance of an Internet game seems poor, you can check your general connection quality with [http://www.speedtest.net Speedtest.net] and [http://www.pingtest.net/ Pingtest.net]. Usually, the bandwidth measurement that Speedtest.net will give you is unimportant, as Zukai does not use much bandwidth. Pingtest.net is more useful because it gives you a jitter measurement, and gameplay is more sensitive to jitter than to high latency.
*If the performance of an Internet game seems poor, look at the ping between you and other players. Zukai displays ping on the scoreboard when you press the mp_score button (see "Bindable actions" section), but if you want more rigorous measurement of the connection between yourself and another player, bring up Spotlight in macOS and start typing "Network Utility". When the Utility appears, open it and use the Ping tab to test the connection between you and them. The most important numbers in the final statistics, once pinging is done, are the packet loss, which should be 0-1%, the average ping ("round-trip avg", the third-to-last number), and jitter ("stddev", the last number), which should be less than 25% of the average ping.

*To record video footage of a match, see [[Capturing game footage]]. The recommended free method is using either OBS Studio or QuickTime Player for video, and capturing the game audio with either Soundflower or iShowU Audio Capture. The recommended commercial programs are ScreenFlow and iShowU, which capture both audio and video.
