About the Project

This repository contains a Java-based clone implementation of the retro arcade game Missile Command. The objective of the game is to survive as long as possible by aiming your anti-ballistic missiles to intercept incoming enemy fire before they destroy your bases.

How to Play

Option 1: Run the Executable (Quickest)

You can directly run the pre-compiled .jar file included in the repository without needing to compile the code yourself.

1. Ensure you have Java JRE or JDK installed on your machine (Java version ≥ 13).
2. Clone this repository or download the ZIP:

   git clone https://github.com/maybe-im-a-mess/MissileCommand.git

3. Navigate to the project directory and run the JAR file:

   cd MissileCommand
   java -jar "Missile Command.jar"

(Alternatively, you can just double-click the Missile Command.jar file on most operating systems).

Option 2: Compile and Run from Source

If you want to view the code, modify it, or compile it yourself:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/maybe-im-a-mess/MissileCommand.git

2. Open the project in IntelliJ IDEA (or your preferred Java IDE).
3. Let the IDE configure the project using the included .idea folder and Programmieren 2.iml file.
4. Locate the main class inside the src/ directory and run the project.
