Coding a 2D Game Engine in Java

This is the repository for a YouTube series here. If you want to run the code yourself follow these instructions:

To Run

1. You must have Gradle 6.3+ and Java 1.8+ installed. If you do not have these installed, you should install them and add them to your environment variables.

   • Once you have them installed you should be able to run:

     gradle --version

     and

     java -version

     And get no errors.

2. Open a Command Prompt in the projects root directory.
   • If you run ls (Mac, Linux) or dir (Windows) you should see libs, src, and assets listed as part of the output.
3. Run:

   gradle fatJar

   • This will create a fat JAR containing all the dependencies for the project.
4. Run

   java -jar build/libs/mario-1.0-SNAPSHOT-all.jar

   • This should open a new Window with the Mario game running.
