I changed the README and the game page, maybe now its clearer how to play it (sorry)

I also updated my comment with some advice… If you follow that, then you do not need to distribute the entire source code of the game. You can distribute only the .jar file, and put some basic instructions in the project description (like the command that should be used to run the game)

I was going to do that, but i didnt have any time to search how to do it.
I wanted to export it to a .bat, so it still works in a terminal or something like that
I'll try to do it, but mark that it wasnt the original game made in time for the jam, since i feel like cheating

Exporting it as a .bat would be much more complicated, and would be less portable since it only works on Windows.

Many people will already have the Java runtime environment (JRE) installed from using Minecraft, and if not it is extremely easy to install.

I believe maven is a common tool for bundling Java projects (as well as referencing dependencies).

I hope I’ve helped!
