How to run

How to build a windows exe ?

Run the following commands to build the project and generate the .exe

./gradlew clean build
./gradlew run
./gradlew shadowJar
./gradlew launch4j

The generated executable will be located at:

LGK2Dgame/build/home/georgel/IdeaProjects/LGK2Dgame/build/exe/LGK2DGame.exe
LGK2Dgame/build/home/georgel/IdeaProjects/LGK2Dgame/build/libs/LGK2DGame-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

For non-Windows users, please use the following JAR commands:

 java -jar build/libs/LGK2DGame.jar
 java -jar LGK2DGame.jar

For convenience, I've also included a pre-built .exe

⚠️ If you prefer not to run the included .exe , feel free to build it yourself using the commands above.
