A simple desktop 2D platform game built in JAVA using the javax.swing library. It's a school project in collaboration with three classmates, where everyone works on different aspects of development. This project aims to be a complete video game but should only be considered as a simple side project, made for fun.
This project uses JSON files to store the different levels, look at the detailed explenation (coming soon) in the src/net/mp3skater/main/Level-class to create your own and play them.
- Oldschool platformer with clean graphics
- Efficient and resource-friendly program
- Sound effects and music
- Start, death and pause menu
- Highscore system that stores the highscores inside of a text file
- Options to regulate and turn off/on the sound effects/music
- Detailed explenation and way of how to create your own levels
- Highscore page in-game
- Youtube showcase
- Maybe level-edit-modus...
Statement to planning for school
As reported in our initial documentation (not public), we planned to finish the project by May 25. We intended to add experimental features based on popular opinion and ultimately commit them once thoroughly tested. This approach ensures that we can always revert to previous versions if necessary. In the end, this workflow and the tools we used (Git/GitHub, Miro, IntelliJ, JSON files, Java Swing, sounds, etc.) worked surprisingly well, not confronting us with any major problems.

To run this project you must have JAVA installed (preferably java 22.0.1 or more). For now you should be able to run the game on any device supporting IntellIJ Idea, by running the set run configuration launch Game or also by running the class src/net/mp3skater/main/Main. Or you can download the latest release(coming soon) and execute it by doubleclicking it on the desktop or inside of the file explorer.
