Simple 3d rally game, because 3d is a good place to start.

RallyGame

• Requires Java 8 or better and a non potato computer

A simple 3D rally like game in Java. Can be played on my webpage at https://www.murph9.com/mygames

Currently still very much in testing, you can drive around in many different car types. From normal cars, a 4x4, a track car, an impossible hyper-super-car and the infamous White Beast.

The world can be selected from a prebuilt selection of pre made worlds. Or you could be adventurous and pick the dynamic world type and have a selection of tracks generated in front of you.

The duel or surivial project is mean to be the real game that comes out of this.

Build steps

Java 8 and blender to compile the project, see gradle file to set the blender install location

Blender is required to generate the *.gltf files which are in the source as *.blend

The commands you need:

• ./gradlew build
• ./gradlew run
• ./gradlew runDuel
• ./gradlew runSurvival

Debugging notes

.blend files and the gradle convertAllBlendFiles task and using vscode: As of 2020-03-17 it doesn't run the gradle build/run calls when you run the application So after you have generated the assets.jar you will need to 'force java compilation' -> full so it picks up the new files

my testing on ubuntu with blender required me to run this command to get the blender commandline to work:

python3 -m pip install numpy

Surivival 'deployment'

Deploying a launch4j exe to s3 is done by running the launch4j.createExe task.

You must make sure the folder contains a valid java 11 or greater JRE. There is a task called copyjre which does this as an example.

Then running these command to upload it (in Powershell):

project> $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'
project> Compress-Archive -Path "build\launch4j\*" -DestinationPath "build\launch4j\survival.zip" -Force
project> aws s3 cp "build\launch4j\survival.zip" "s3://cdn.murph9.com/mygames/survival.zip"
