## Installation

To use the game you need to install Java. For this purpose you may need
administrator privileges to install software on your machine. You can install Java 
from [java.com](https://java.com/download). The minimum Java version is Java 8.

You can download the [jar file](https://1drv.ms/u/s!AnwBrt306BrJ-ltbmsJuG2pZdfVk?e=fg7P0k) for Tanks.
To run the jar file you can double-click on it.

## Development

To develop the game we suggest using Eclipse or IntelliJ. Eclipse can be installed from 
[eclipse.org](http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/). IntelliJ can be installed from 
[jetbrains.com](https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/).

To access the source code you also need to install Git.

### Gradle Build (Recommended)
It is recommended you use gradle to build Tanks using the following commands:

#### Windows
```powershell
./gradlew.bat clean build
```

#### Unix (OSX, Linux, etc.)
```bash
./gradlew clean build
```

### IDE Build
You will need to add the following libraries to the build path of the project: 
PNGDecoder by Matthias Mann in TWL 
Netty 
All the jars and natives of the following LWJGL libraries: 
LWJGL (core) 
OpenGL 
OpenAL 
GLFW 
Assimp 
STB 
Commons IO 
Steamworks4j

You can all download these libraries in zip format from [here](https://1drv.ms/f/s!AnwBrt306BrJgdAz1AzDfZuq79f8VQ?e=hemiis).

Please note - Tanks uses a custom version of Steamworks4j compiled with Mac OS arm64 natives. 
We recommend you use the libraries linked above, because they contain that modified Steamworks4j library.
