# Yahtzee
A Java Swing implementation of the classic dice game.
## How to Play
Roll five dice up to three times per turn, holding any dice you want to keep between rolls.
After rolling, click a scoring category to lock in your score. The game ends after all 13 categories are filled.
Click **Rules** in the game window for a full breakdown of scoring categories and joker rules.
## Packaging (Jlink/JPackage)
Amazing UX aside, the main purpose of this project is to experiment with various ways to package and distribute a simple Java
Swing app.
Specific details and instructions can be found in [PACKAGING.md](./PACKAGING.md) (Fat Jar, jlink/jpackage installers and images
etc).
## Build and Run
Build and test:
```bash
./gradlew build
```
Run the app:
```bash
./gradlew run
```
## Distributable JAR
Build a single executable fat JAR:
```bash
./gradlew shadowJar
```
Output: `build/libs/yahtzee-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-all.jar`
Run it:
```bash
java -jar build/libs/yahtzee-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-all.jar
```
