Ironclad
« on: January 05, 2017, 08:30:06 am »
I found this game recently and thought you all would also like it.

It is an open source turn based battle game with a steampunk setting.
It is written in Clojure and ran though Java.
Here is a link to the game http://www.mikera.net/ironclad/ and here is a link to it's Github https://github.com/mikera/ironclad.

Kinda wish there were a standalone .exe version provided. Browser-based Java is deader than Flash.

You can download the game but I do agree with you that it being an .exe would be better.

The advantage over a Windows .exe is that the Java version runs on Linux (though with a disturbing number of increasingly frantic security prompts) and presumably other OSes as well. I agree, though, that web-based Java is dead for a reason. Distribute it as a standalone .jar for heaven's sake!

Not really (unless it changed) the JNLP file is basically a fancy LNK to the web-based java.
So has anyone had the credit card stolen yet? I kinda want to try this? ;)

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.

I have no idea what the first sentence means, but you can try it by adding the website to your java exceptions. That is how I was able to play it.
