This is the User Profiles Window
What is the User Profiles Window? This is the first window you will see when you start gameDentity™, and is your main portal to all of gameDentity's functions and editing windows as well as playing Games through gameDentity's power!
Step 1
Viewing & Selecting a Game
At the top of the User Profiles window is the 'Game Preview Image' and 'Select Game' Drop Menu. This is where you can select a game to play from the already supplied / created 'Game Profiles'. Simply click the drop menu to view a list of available games and click a title from the list to select it.
If a Preview Image is associated with the selected Game Profile, it will be shown at the top of the drop menu.
Step 2
Viewing & Selecting a User
The principle for selecting the current 'User Profile' is the same as selecting a 'Game' as shown in Step 1. If a 'Avatar (Character) Image' is associated with the current selected 'User Profile', the image will be shown above the 'User Profile' drop menu.
Step 3
What are all the buttons for? (Playing a Game)
The first 3 buttons are used to create, edit or delete a 'User Profile' respectively. Creating / Editing a User Profile is covered in 3. Creating / Editing a User Profile of this documentation, so i'm not gonna go through it again for your's and my benefit ;).
The 'Delete Profile' button does exactly that. Once you Delete a Profile, that 'User Profile' and all it's associated game saves & settings data is deleted and it is removed from the 'User Profile' selection drop menu!

The last 3 buttons in the User Profiles window are the 'Game Profiles', 'PLAY GAME' and 'Exit' buttons.
The 'Game Profiles' button allows you to create, edit and delete 'Game Profiles' via the Game Profiles Window in the same fashion as this User Profiles Window allows you to do with 'User Profiles'. Check out 2. View and Editing Game Profiles (the Game Profiles Window) for more info on the Game Profiles Window.
The 'PLAY GAME' button starts the currently selected game (Game Profile) with the currently selected user (User Profile). (If the game executable is not found, you will be given the opportunity to select it via the 'Game Profile Editor' window. Once you have found the game executable, simply save the 'Game Profile', close the editor and Press the 'Play Game' button and away you go!)
The 'Exit' button I hope is self-explanatory ;)!
See, getting around gameDentity is a doddle and you done it in 3 or less steps, Well done you :)!
