# PowerHigh
PowerHigh is a 2D game library using a component-system, it is also very customizable via various drawing calls. And custom-doublebuffering, with (at 1.0) Android support.
## Getting started
[](https://travis-ci.org/zenith391/PowerHigh)
### Prerequisites
You must atleast have Java 9 installed, or a more recent version (Java 10 / 11)
1. Go to PowerHigh releases on the [Releases](https://github.com/zenith391/PowerHigh/releases) tab.
2. Download powerhigh-core.jar and, since you're on PC, powerhigh-swing.jar (powerhigh-opengl.jar might be available for 1.0)
2. Add the JARs as dependencies to your project, using your favorite IDE.
### Running the test.
To run the test and ensure PowerHigh works goodly,
open a terminal and write following commands:
```sh
cd
java -cp powerhigh-core.jar;powerhigh-swing.jar;powerhigh-test.jar test.org.powerhigh.PowerHighTest
```
If you don't have "powerhigh-test.jar", don't worry, just download it.
If you see a window opened with stuff on it, everything works and the JAR is ready to be used.
PowerHigh is built with Maven.
When everything is okay, you can look at the documentation, start a new project in your favorite IDE.
And use that library that saves you days of code! ;)
## Contributing
If you want to contribute, first of all, thanks you! I can't work on this library full time and contributions
are really helpful and keep knowing that people uses and help me on this project is motivating.
But there is some rules/tips for contributing:
First of all, the issue/pull request must have things that goes with the library. For example, i will not accept 3D because
this library has been made for 2D, and so, would be horribly slow or would need a total re-code.
Also, if you're posting an bug issue and think you can be able to post a little pull request / commits to fix it, it would be very nice to do it.
