Running the game

Get the source, making sure to pull in all the necessary submodules.

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/gamefolk/room-full-of-cats-mobile.git

To build the game, you must have a Java version of at least 8u40, and an Oracle JDK. If you use OpenJDK, you must install OpenJFX as well.

Runtime dependencies are handled by the gradle build system.

Android

Running on Android requires an installation of the Android SDK, with Android Platform Lollipop downloaded (API Level 21).

$ ./gradlew androidInstall            # launch on attached Android device

iOS

Running on iOS requires an up-to-date Mac with the latest version of Xcode installed.

$ ./gradlew launchIPhoneSimulator     # launch on iPhone emulator
$ ./gradlew launchIPadSimulator       # launch on iPad emulator
$ ./gradlew launchIOSDevice           # launch on attached iOS device

If you get strange errors such as compilation failures due to missing files, unexplained crashes on startup, etc., try running ./gradlew clean before building again.

If you experiences crashes when starting the game, please ensure that your computer is a JavaFX Certified System Configuration. See heading JavaFX Media.

Background

Room Full of Cats is based on the javafxports and robovm projects, which allow JavaFX 8 to run on Java and iOS through cross-compilation of Java bytecode.
