Conquer first was a project for school. Because I already planned writing a separate frontend, I decoupled the logic/the game engine (In the subdirectory Conquer) from the GUI (Originally written with greenfoot), as greenfoot had a lot of limitations and a lot of ugly and spooky code (Like reflection) was required to remove these restrictions. Another reason were the missing capabilities for managing a huge project (E.g. no package support, the IDE was lacking a lot of features, ...)
After I gave my project to the teacher, I started to remove some little greenfoot-specific code in the game-engine and started to write a far, far superior GUI using Java Swing. I improved the code structure and made some changes. Around 70% are unchanged and are the original code of my assignment. (The greenfoot-based code may be pushed to the Legacy branch)
Now, after several months of work, I rewrote/restructured huge parts of this game to improve the UX and to speed up the development of further improvements (E.g. by migrating to Gradle and replacing the C launcher with Vala)
- libarchive for the library to extract the downloaded zip files
- libcurl to download java.
- Musescore that made it possible to provide music.
