Important notice to all you ugly parrots out there! This is not a virus, there is even source code, you can control it, you can even decompile it, but if you are a computer analphabet is not my fault.
Instructions how to use:
There are two types attached, jar files and whole project files. Jar provides semi-executable archives, so you can run it just by doubleclick. With java and class files you can compile (or just run the class files by yourself). In both cases, check that additional folders with pictures are in the same folder as the program.
First run the server, then run client for each player (game is for 2 players). Both need to select Game->Connect while server is active. Server management isn't perfected yet, so you may check task manager if the server is still running after the game is closed (but now it should have a tray icon). The IP of server is stored in file server.ini, if it does not exist, it uses localhost (so you can play on your computer with yourself.
Game is based on this one The Necronomicon but with slight rule deviations, in this case both player play the cards simultaneously, some effects happening before others (this is still a hot debate). Not all cards are implemented yet and some like Blackmail are just blank (not anymore). To play a card, you left click it, in order to gain sanity equal to its cost (and not playing for the effect)m right click it.
So far this is at very early stage, so bugs galore and this version is supposed more to present the gameplay and feel than just bughunting.
