A game about shooting meteors in Space!

How to Play

You can play Space Shooter downloading the executable JAR file at the latest release page. Or you can play from the source code, the hard way(not that hard to be honest).

Compiling and Running

This will guide you trough the steps for building the source code of the game.

Install Dependencies

See the Development: Dependencies section to a guide on how to install them.

Cloning the Source

You'll have to clone this repository in your computer first to play it.

Using Git

$ git clone https://github.com/notestudios/SpaceShooter.git

Using GitHub CLI

$ gh repo clone notestudios/SpaceShooter

Building

After cloning the repo in your computer, you need to build it.

This will build a Java Application Runtime file(java's executable file) in the build/libs/SpaceShooter.jar directory.

Running

You can run the game doing the following:

Changing the current directory to the executable's one
