Gradded-Unit

Gradded-Unit is a Java platformer project created by Future Pixels (2018–2019).

Engine

• This project uses a custom engine, LiamEngine. You can find the engine repository here: https://github.com/RandomlyFuzzy/LiamEngine
• The repository includes a helper script at scripts/update_engine.sh which fetches the latest LiamEngine.jar (or builds it from source) and places it into Gradded-unit/Gradded-unit/Libaries/.

Key Features

• Lightweight Java game engine integration (LiamEngine)
• Single distributable JAR with bundled libraries
• Cross-platform packaging: ZIP bundles for Linux and Windows with bundled JRE
• Simple launcher scripts: run.sh (Linux/macOS) and run.bat (Windows) included
• Asset-driven levels and resources under Gradded-unit/Gradded-unit/resources
• Ant-based build for reliable reproducible builds

Usage

• Run locally: make sure JDK 8 is installed and run:

  ./run.sh

• Or run the built jar directly (after building):

  java -Xmx512m -jar Gradded-unit/Gradded-unit/dist/Gradded-unit.jar

CI / Releases

• A GitHub Actions workflow at .github/workflows/release.yml builds the project, packages platform bundles (including a JRE, resources and launchers) and creates a GitHub Release with ZIP artifacts when you push a v*.*.* tag.
