There seems to be no .exe in the downloaded .rar

@indiequest you can just run the .jar file and the game will start

@tradingbooch12 I downloaded the .jar file and it's not opening anything. I have Java V12 installed. Would you be able to upload in a different format?

I cannot run it either on Java V8 :( Do I need specific Java version, maybe?

tradingbooch12 2020-10-05 12:10

@james-joubert ok i converted it into a .exe file but idk if you're on windows though

james-joubert 2020-10-05 12:13

@tradingbooch12 I will give it a go. I'm on Windows yea.

james-joubert 2020-10-05 12:41

Unfortunately the .exe also doesn't open. :cry:

I have java 8 and get this error:

Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again

happens with both the exe and the jar

rgilpt 2020-10-06 02:22

@tradingbooch12 got the same error as the others :(

You've probably gotten this enough by now, but yeah, the .exe required me to install the java runtime environment then threw an error when I tried to run

Unfortunately I can't run the jar file on Mac but I'd be interested if you get this fixed!

Running `java -jar loop_shooter.jar` works for me in Linux (using OpenJDK 14.0.2). Game is neat, but a bit hard. If an enemy block appears at a certain point, it can be significantly harder to destroy before it reaches the blue. Makes sense to have limited ammo as spamming shots would be too OP. Good work!

I was ble to urn this on a Mac using the same command as @burnedkirby.

I had OpenJDK 14.

Finally ! Java game ! Thanks for the game ! Please dont forget the rate our game too !

Okay, so updating Java to its latest version made the game finally work for me (from simply double-clicking jar file). I would recommend putting info about minimum required java version somewhere in the description, it would make getting this thing to run less frustrating.

And unfortunately, there isn't all that much to say about the game itself. It's very basic shooter, that neatly fits theme, I'll give you that, but there is little in a way of challenge or progression. Simple addition of "enemies" speeding up with passage of time, would give it a bit o challenge. Great job of writing it all in pure java though.
