Build

From the repository root:

PowerShell:

New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force out
Get-ChildItem -Recurse src -Filter *.java | ForEach-Object { $_.FullName } | Set-Content sources.txt
javac -encoding UTF-8 -d out @sources.txt

Bash:

mkdir -p out
find src -name "*.java" > sources.txt
javac -encoding UTF-8 -d out @sources.txt

Run

PowerShell or Bash:

java -cp out Main

The game expects to be run from the repository root so it can load assets from src/assets and resources from src/resources.
