Turn-based strategy game made originally for the 2012 Java 4k competition.
http://java4k.com/index.php?action=games&method=view&gid=400
Note: The entire campaign has changed since the Java 4k version. To play the original campaign you need to compile the version from the branch called version_1.
Click friendly (blue) unit to select, then click a hex to attack or move to. Repeat for as many units as you want to move or attack with. Proceed to the next turn by clicking the button in the upper right corner.
A unit that has already been attacked in the current turn is easier to attack (no risk for your unit, greater chance of eliminating it).
Artillery can attack enemy units up to 3 hexes away. Other units can only attack adjacent hexes.
Enemy units far away are not seen.
Engineers can move into river hexes to let other units cross (the only way to cross rivers). They are also better than other units at attacking cities.
You win by occupying all cities on the map. This means you need to leave a unit behind to guard each city you take, it is not enough to simply pass through them to win, you must have a unit there.
After 15 turns a scenario ends in failure and is restarted.
Complete all 12 scenarios to win the campaign.
Git tag java4k points at a version of the code that is virtually identical to the version committed to the competition.
The master branch will be only for commits (if any) that keep the final jar size below the original limit of 4096 bytes. Other branches might be created to work on expanded versions ignoring the size limit.
You need a env.yourhostname and make.yourhostname to use the Makefile and shell scripts. You can use at the included example.make and example.env as templates (notice the backwards names). You will also need a recent version of python pre-3.0 (eg version 2.7).
Yes, I know that using the C pre-processor (cpp) with java is not the way you normally do it. It was an easy way to inject the image bitmap data into the java file, and since I was using it anyway I started using it to do conditional compilation of debug code etc as well.
debug.sh compiles and launches the game as a Java application (not applet) with debugging enabled and also some extra shortcut keys helpful for debugging and scenario construction, eg:
ENTER - win level and start next in campaign m - next random map (and restart level) M - previous random map (and restart level) f - next random friendly units setup (and restart level) F - previous random friendly units setup (and restart level) e - next random enemy units setup (and restart level) E - previous random enemy units setup (and restart level) ESC - quit
The random map, friendly, and enemy setup values output when a level begins (that you can change with the special debug keys m, M, f, F, e, E) can be inserted in the campaign variable in G.cppjava. The 4th level (level == 3 in the source code, of course) is hardcoded to add some friendly units also on the right side of the map. Other than that any scenario setup can be used in any position in the campaign. To have a campaign longer than 12 scenarios, increase the LAST_CAMPAIGN_SCENARIO constant.
Using even more preprocessor-hacks the code also can be compiled with a C compiler and SDL 2.0. Running make general4c should make the desktop version if you have cmake and SDL2 and python2 installed.
Currently the C port use the random function from stdlib rather than trying to mimic the java.util.Random algorithm, so the scenarios are different.
The SailfishOS port is built inside of the Mer SDK virtual machine (it is installed when you install the SailfishOS SDK and you can launch it in VirtualBox). Run make general4sf. Currently depends on the contents of make.localhost and env.localhost that unlike other make. or env. files are included in the git repository. More information:

(Currently does not run on my Jolla phone because of there not being any SDL dynamic libraries installed on it. The JavaScript port (see below) runs very well in the SailfishOS native browser though.)
A few lines of perprocessor-hacks allow the code in G.cppjava to also run in a web browser, rendering the game as a HTML Canvas. To build this version run make html/general4.js. Open html/general4js.html to play. As above you will need python2 to build this version.
- Support running general4c from directory not including font.bmp.
- Make RPM for Sailfish.
