Building and Playing the Sample Games
You should have the sample games downloaded and unpacked. If you haven't
done that yet, you can download the necessaries from the
main tutorial page. This will be a directory tree looking something
like the following:
games/bin - various scripts games/lib - various jar files games/atlantis - one of the sample games games/sagashi - another of the sample games
You will need Ant installed to build the sample games and, of course, Java as well. Note that JDK 1.5 is required to build and run the games.
Change into the atlantis
directory and build the game:
cd games/atlantis ant dist
The server is also run from ant, like so:
ant server
In another terminal window, run a client as username
laurel
(or pick any username you like, it doesn't matter):
cd games/atlantis ant -Dusername=laurel client
And in yet another terminal window, run a second client:
cd games/atlantis ant -Dusername=hardy client
You should now be logged into your own multiplayer game server with two clients and you can create a table and play a fine game of Atlantis against yourself.
You can compile and play the sagashi
sample game in the
same way though it can be played by only one player.
