How to run the project:

Requirements:

  • Java runtime installed
  • Alternatively: Docker

How to play the game:

  • Just download the SnakeGame.jar file
  • Run it
  • Start playing with the arrows keys
  • If you lose, just close it and re-open it (I will add a restart button possibly)

How to run on Mac OSX with Docker:

  • Install Xquartz
  • Launch XQuartz. Under the XQuartz menu, select Preferences
  • Go to the security tab and ensure "Allow connections from network clients" is checked.
  • In XQuartz terminal: Run xhost + ${hostname} to allow connections to the macOS host *
  • run sudo docker-compose up --build

Troubleshooting (No X11 DISPLAY variable was set):

  • If on linux make sure you don't have a headless version of Java installed
  • Otherwise check to make sure display environment variable is set
export DISPLAY=:0.0
