# Koru

A 2D sandbox game, written using libGDX and Java 8. Partially made as a testing ground for Entity Component systems, AI, world generation, biome generation and shaders.

**This project is no longer being worked on. I have moved on to other things.**  

No issues with the game will be fixed.

### Current Features

- infinite procedurally generated world

### Building

1. Install **JDK 8** - **not any other version!** If you fail to use the right version, the build may fail.

2. Open a terminal/command prompt, and run `./gradlew server:run` (linux/mac) / `gradlew.bat server:run` (windows)

3. Open another terminal/cmd tab and run `./gradlew desktop:run` (linux/mac) / `gradlew.bat desktop:run` (windows)

4. Press "connect" in the game window.

5. ~~Experience a broken game that will never be fixed.~~

#### Troubleshooting?

I haven't touched this project in at least 2 years, so if you run into problems, you're on your own.

~~### Roadmap~~

- proper player characters

- crafting

- more blocks

- passive creatures

- enemies

- saving entities in chunks

- block entities and data
