A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Galactic traders

Galactic traders is a real time strategy (RTS) game. You have to build a strong army and colonies to destroy your enemy.

I encourage you to post your fastest time to beat the game or the longest time you survived for (I'm not yet sure if it's difficult or not).

Controls

The game contains a tutorial, that starts once the game is open (not when restarting after game over).

  • F2 - Skip tutorial.
  • Mouse left click - All actions.
  • ESC - Unselect.

About the game(dev)

This is a COMPO entry (made within 48 hours) all by me (the art, sound effects, fonts, code...). 

I made this in Java using my custom hand made engine (that's why it's somewhat small, but might have some problems with portability... oops).

Install instructions

Zip version

The zip version already contains SDK and run.bat script with runs the game. Use this if you don't want to download the whole SDK. 

Running the game

The game is available as .jar file or source code. It was developed on Linux (KDE Neon) system, but should be platform independent.

The game does not run

It's mostl likely that you're missing the needed Java stuff - you just need to have the latest Java SDK (download Java).

Windows

Just double click the file and it should open if you have Java SDK installed.

Linux and Mac

If double click does not work for you then just type `java -jar GalacticTraders.jar` in terminal in the folder where you downloaded the game.

(In case downloading jdk from link above was not helpful, look in your repos for `java-11-openjdk-11.0.12.0.7.4.fc34.x86_64` by using your packaging app like `sudo dnf install ...`/`sudo apt-get install ...` or similar.)
