Mega Man

A simple and fun retro-style multiplayer 2D shooting game made entirely from scratch with Java-FX and mega man sprites

Working code for the entire project is in src/sample directory.

• Code for Client(Game) is in src/sample/Game.java
• Code for Server is in src/sample/Server.java

Other folders in /src directory contain .png sprites and a single folder contains game sounds.

Game sounds are deactivated in the latest release

Running the Game on your machine

The Working JAR executable files are found in JAR_Executables Folder

Instructions for running the game

Since this is a multiplayer game, Exactly two clients must be connected to server in order to begin playing The three files (One Server JAR file and 2 Client JAR files) can be run in three seperate machines as long as the machines are in the same LAN.

Java Runtime Environment needs to be installed on the machine(s) running the JAR files

Download the Runtime from java's website

There are three files in the JAR_Executables Folder](JAR_Executables/).

1. The mega-man-server file is the server file that needs to be run first. There's no Graphical Interface on the server file, so it runs silently upon clicking it. This is intended behaviour.
2. The mega-man-client-1 file and The mega-man-client-2 file are identical. The files are seperate to make running the same client code twice easier in some machines. Run both the files in turn. 3.The client game files when run will ask for Server IP address (Defaults to 127.0.0.1) Use the default IP address if the server is running in the same machine as the client game file. If not, enter the machine's IP address where the server is running here. Then click ready.
3. Do the same for the other client game file.
4. Intro plays and the game starts. Enjoy!
