Java Game Starter

-- Recommended Software --

Notepad++ (To edit the batch file)

Don't worry! I will leave a batch file to start window notepad with the batch file as its target!

-- Instructions --

(Remember to delete anything labeled with DELETE-ME)

#1  How do I add my .jar file?

#1A  Put your .jar into the << Game >> folder and open Notepad++ with the Game.bat file or run notepad.bat file and go to

<< start %~dp0Java\bin\java.exe -jar %~dp0Game\Game.jar >>
when you are there change the Game.jar to whatever your jar name is, such as Sentinel.jar

And you can also edit the program arguments here.

#2  How do I add my Java Environment

#2A  (If its not installed yet, install java)
Go to << C:\ >> in file explorer and press << Program Files >> and go down to                   << Java >> then got o << JRE(Java Version) >> and then keep that open and open up your game folder, and copy all the stuff from your jre folder into the java folder.

#3  Program Arguments?

#3A  Open up the Game.bat file, and then at this line

<< start %~dp0Java\bin\java.exe -jar %~dp0Game\Game.jar >>

add your program arguments, you can limit ram and other stuff, you can search an article on the web

#4  Why batch?

#4A  The java runtime environment starts as a command prompt (Like a batch file) and a .exe really doesn't work as well as batch, .bat will be 1kb but .exe will be like 30kb, I just wanted to go with something simple

#5  Am I done?

#5A  Yes! You should be done! If you release it make sure to remove the Notepad.bat file
