PongFX

An implementation of the classic arcade game Pong using JavaFX and Spring.

Prerequisites

• Download Maven
• Ensure JAVA_HOME environment variable is set
• Ensure PATH environment variable contains MAVEN_HOME/bin
• Run mvn clean install in the project root to build the entire project

Running the Game

• In the root folder, enter the command mvn jfx:run

Please note that 'mvn clean install' might not work on Java 7. A workaround would be to add the following to your pom.xml :

#!xml

<dependency>
  <groupId>javafx</groupId>
  <artifactId>jfxrt</artifactId>
  <version>2.2</version>
  <scope>system</scope>
  <systemPath>C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\jfxrt.jar</systemPath> <!-- Windows -->
  <!-- <systemPath>/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre/lib/jfxrt.jar</systemPath> on Linux -->
</dependency>

The recommended way to go would be just to use Java 8. If you are not sure about what version of Java your system is using, run:

java -version

or

javac -version
