Setup

Prerequisites

• Java 8+

1. Clone the repo

git clone git@github.com:jovbcorreia/epicgame.git
cd epicgame

2. Compile

mkdir -p build/classes
javac -cp lib/simple-graphics-0.2.1-SNAPSHOT.jar \
      -d build/classes \
      $(find src -name "*.java")

3. Run

java -cp "build/classes:lib/simple-graphics-0.2.1-SNAPSHOT.jar" \
     org.academiadecodigo.loopeytunes.EpicGame.Main

Note: The game must be run from the project root folder so it can find its resource files (images and sounds).

Alternative — IntelliJ IDEA

Open the project folder in IntelliJ IDEA. The lib/simple-graphics-0.2.1-SNAPSHOT.jar is already included — add it to the module classpath and run Main.java directly.

How to Play

Player	Character	Key
Player 1	Taz	A
