Before you can start working on the game you need to ensure you have Java installed and the latest JDK, you can get java here:
and the JDK here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
You also need the Intellij IDEA IDE, you can get this from here:
https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/#chooseYourEdition
The free version is good enough although the paid version is obtainable for free for students.
Once both of these are installed you need to:
- Clone the GitHub repository on to your local documents.
- Open up IntelliJ and select import project, then find where you cloned the project to and select the build.gradle file in the game folder. Click ok.
- Next uncheck 'Create separate module per source set', click ok again.
- IntelliJ may ask you to set up the JDK, if it does this simply navigate to where the JDK is on your computer.
It will then import the game, this may take some time.
One common problem is to do with a missing JDK, This is a solution : Configure -> Project Defaults -> Project Structure then add your JDK in Platform Settings -> SDKs. Some other problems have solutions here.
You can now edit the game , we recommend making a new branch, then make changes on that branch. You can use GitHub desktop or equivalent to commit the changes to your branch and then use sync to upload those changes. When you are ready submit a pull request and have someone check it.
You can run by first building as described below and then simply clicking run.
To build the game use the built in run configuration Desktop in the same way that you run tests.
This project is tested using JUnit. Tests are located within the /game/tests
directory. For test documentation, please see https://github.com/junit-team/junit4/wiki
####Running tests locally We have included a handy test configuration that can be ran from intellij.
- Create new class for tests under
/game/tests/src
When naming the class end the name withUnitTests
for consistency e.g.PlayerUnitTests
- This class should extend
GameTester
this initialises the backend of the game so that test run correctly. - Import
org.junit.Test
- Write a test function using assertions, and use
@Test
decorator above it - See this page for examples of assertions: https://github.com/junit-team/junit4/wiki/assertions
- Run your tests locally and see if they pass!
