How to Run

Follow these steps to run the game on your local machine:

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/skim411/morra-italian-finger-game.git
   

2. Navigate to the Project Directory:

   cd morra-italian-finger-game
   

3. Navigate to the Java Source Folder: If you haven't already, navigate to the src/main/java directory where the Java files are located:

   cd src/main/java
   

4. Compile the Java Files: Make sure you have Java Development Kit (JDK) installed. Compile all the Java files in the nz/ac/auckland/se281 directory:

   javac nz/ac/auckland/se281/*.java
   

5. Run the Game: After compiling, run the game by using the following command:

   java -cp . nz.ac.auckland.se281.Main
   

   • Explanation:
     • -cp . tells Java to use the current directory as the classpath, ensuring it can find the compiled .class files in src/main/java.
     • nz.ac.auckland.se281.Main specifies the fully-qualified class name of the main class in your project.
