Reaction Time Game 🎯 Author: Lucas Zahlan Overview This is a Java-based reaction time game that tests how quickly a user can react when a green circle appears. The game uses the Processing library to handle graphics and timing. 🚀 How to Run the Project Option 1: Using the Processing IDE (Easiest) Download & Install Processing → Processing Download Open the Processing application Copy & Paste the ReactionComp.java code into a new sketch Click the Run button ▶ Option 2: Running the Java File Manually If you want to compile and run the game without the Processing IDE, follow these steps: 1️⃣ Install Java (if not already installed) You need OpenJDK or Oracle JDK. Download the latest version here: OpenJDK (Recommended) Oracle JDK 2️⃣ Install Processing and Locate core.jar Download Processing: https://processing.org/download Find core.jar: Windows: C:\Program Files\Processing\lib\core.jar Mac: /Applications/Processing.app/Contents/Java/core.jar Linux: /usr/share/processing/core.jar 3️⃣ Compile and Run the Program Open a terminal or command prompt, navigate to the project folder, and run: bash Copy Edit javac -cp "path/to/core.jar" ReactionComp.java java -cp ".;path/to/core.jar" ReactionComp # Windows java -cp ".:path/to/core.jar" ReactionComp # macOS/Linux 📌 Replace path/to/core.jar with the actual path where core.jar is located. 🕹️ How to Play Click "Start" to begin the game.
