How to run the project:

Requirements:

• Java runtime installed

How to play the game:

• Start playing with the arrows keys
• If you lose, just close it and re-open it (I will add a restart button possibly)

How to run on Mac OSX with Docker:

• Install Xquartz
• Launch XQuartz. Under the XQuartz menu, select Preferences
• Go to the security tab and ensure "Allow connections from network clients" is checked.
• In XQuartz terminal: Run xhost + ${hostname} to allow connections to the macOS host *
• run sudo docker-compose up --build

Troubleshooting (No X11 DISPLAY variable was set):

• If on linux make sure you don't have a headless version of Java installed
• Otherwise check to make sure display environment variable is set

export DISPLAY=:0.0
