Very cool! It would be nice to control with the mouse instead.
Game requires me to install the Java runtime environment to play :(
My apologies for the issue. When the rating period ends, I will troubleshoot to see if I can fix the deployment issue. The JRE is already prepackaged with the game, but isn't being called correctly for some folks.
Got a bit laggy towards the end, but still fun.
Thanks for the kind comment! I'd like to do a little bit more with this game once the review period completes, so I will take a look and see if I can optimize some of the background math.
Couldn't get the game running unfortunately. DontCollide.exe in the root folder said "java runtime environment" was required. And DontCollide.exe in the Windowsx64 folder just didn't open at all.
Thanks for letting me know! I definitely need to address this issue that seems to crop up with deployment. Can I ask if you tried running the DontCollide.jar file directly?
Hmm my computer doesn't know what program to open it with. I'm on Windows 11 btw.
Okay, I'm fairly certain that the JRE being packaged with the game is just not correctly being associated with the .exe and .jar files. I will have to investigate the various settings both in the game engine's sdk and in the Launch4j program to find a process that works for future deployments!
I appreciate you taking the time to respond :)
Nice Job!
Thanks for the kind comment!
