JavaFX Football Multiplayer

If you want to play this game, please ensure that you have:

• Java 17 (or newer)
• Maven (to build)
• JDK (Java Development Kit)
• (Optional) JavaFX SDK (only if your JDK doesn’t bundle it)

Prereqs

• Java 17+
• Maven 3.9+

Build

mvn -q -DskipTests package

Run Server

java -cp target/football-multiplayer-java-1.0.0.jar net.footy.server.ServerMain 5555

Run Client (two instances)

# If JavaFX is provided by the plugin, this works:
mvn javafx:run -Pclient -Dexec.mainClass=net.footy.client.ClientMain -Dargs="localhost 5555"

# Or run the jar directly (ensure JavaFX modules are available on classpath)
java -cp target/football-multiplayer-java-1.0.0.jar net.footy.client.ClientMain localhost 5555

Controls

• Player 1: WASD + Space
• Player 2: Arrow keys + Enter

Notes

• The server is authoritative; clients only send inputs and render received state.
• Physics/logic are simplified for learning purposes.
• Tweak constants in GameConstants to change feel (speed, friction, kick power, sizes).
