AlmasB / Fxglgames

This repo contains sample games built with FXGL Game Library. Each game focuses on one or two aspects of FXGL, e.g. Drop focuses on bare minimums, Pac-man focuses on AI, etc.

Checkout this commit for Java 8 code for all projects (FXGL 0.5.4). All projects will eventually be upgraded to Java 11 code (FXGL 11.0+).

Build

cd PROJECT_NAME
mvn package

This will produce a standalone executable with that project in target/. Most games are pre-built and can be downloaded from binaries.

Run

cd target/
java -jar PROJECT_NAME-VERSION.jar

OR simply double-click the jar file if the extensions are correctly set on your machine.

Build for Mobile

Follow latest instructions from client-samples. A relevant extract is copied below.

For example, to build Breakout for Android (can only build from Linux):

1. Download GraalVM zip: graalvm-ce-java11-linux-amd64-20.2.0.tar.gz

2. Set GRAALVM_HOME and JAVA_HOME environment variables to the GraalVM installation directory. For example:

export GRAALVM_HOME=/opt/graalvm-ce-java11-20.2.0
export JAVA_HOME=$GRAALVM_HOME

cd Breakout
mvn clean client:build
mvn client:package

// connect your Android device and allow it installation over USB

mvn client:install

You can now run the game from Android, or you can run with logging from Linux: mvn client:run.
