Building and Running

Compile your code:

Use the keyboard shortcut:

Ctrl + Shift + B (or ⇧⌘B on Mac)

This will:

• Compile everything in src/
• Output .class files into bin/

Run the test dojo

After compiling, start the battle by pressing:

F5 or click the ▶ Run button in the top toolbar

Your Champion will appear in the selection menu if your compiled .class file is in dist/.

Making Your Champion

Rename and open src/MyChampion.java and customize:

• NAME, maxHealth, attackPower, defensePower
• getActions() to define your special moves
• Add subclasses of Action as (not public!) classes to this file too.

In the same folder, you also need to create subclasses of

• Relic.java
• Tactic.java
• Gambit.java
