Just playing around with KorGE

gridZ is a little test project to play around with the multiplatform game engine KorGE. I have a little sandbox maze game in mind, with lots of mechanics. Not really a puzzler, but more like a speed-runner, hunting for the best time.

You can try a snapshot of the game (maybe not the latest version) here: http://www.gnu.at/gridz or download the JAR-file (Java-17 required): http://www.gnu.at/gridz.jar

Run with

• ./gradlew :runJvm
• ./gradlew :runJsRelease -> installs to ./build/www/ (open the listed URL in a browser)

---

Control the character with:

Gamepad

• left stick to move
• A to go to next level after current level completed
• B reset the current level
• Start pause (toggle)
• LB previous level
• RB next level

Mouse

• press and hold the right mouse button to move
• press the left mouse button to go to next level after current level completed

Keyboard (not recommended)

• use the arrow keys to move
• B previous level
• N next level
• Enter reset the current level
• Space go to the next level after current level completed
• P pause (toggle)
• Esc end the game and close the window

---

Create an executable JAR-file with:

• ./gradlew :packageJvmFatJar -> ./build/lib/gridz-all.jar

---

To deploy an Android app:

• Enable targetAndroid() in build.gradle.kts
• Create a file local.properties with the following content (use your local Android-SDK installation path): sdk.dir=C\:\\Users\\myuser\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\Sdk
• Pair your Android device (get the IP and port from the development settings after enabling WLAN-debugging)

adb pair <ip>:<port>
adb connect <ip>:<port>
adb devices

• ./gradlew :runAndroidRelease
