Blue Puzzles

Blue Puzzles is an application that contains a collection of puzzles. These games include Hangman, Jigsaw, Sudoku, Sudoku X, Memory, Time Attack, and Tents. This is a GUI-based application, as such all parts of it are entirely visual. A user would interact with this game in the same way they would with a website (click buttons to interact with the application).

If you enjoyed using this application, you can email me at larkingustavson@gmail.com. If you have any suggestions for improvements it would be greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,

Larkin

How To Use

To clone and run this application, you'll need Git, Java JDK (11.0.2), JavaFX SDK (11.0.2), JDBC (MySQL Connector), and any IDE or text editor that can run a Java program. Strongly recommended is IntelliJ. From your command line, run the following commands:

# Clone this repository
$ git clone https://github.com/Larkin-Gustavson/BluePuzzlesUpdate

Note In order to use this application you MUST have installed the Java JDK (11.0.2), JavaFX SDK (11.0.2), and JDBC (also known as MySQL Connector) version 8.0.23.

The MySQL server that this application uses to store users' account information (usernames and passwords) and each accounts associated game stats is being hosted on Amazon. Due to this, in order to host this application server payment was necessary. A couple of months ago, we chose not to pay Amazon to host the database. Therefore, a user cannot get past the login screen.
