src/build.bat seems to be missing.

Is this meant to be a joke? Anyway, I believe you mean Makefile is missing.

FreshCode3• 13 years ago

Added src/build.bat. Just missed it with my .gitignore settings.

Cool project! Anyone trying to run it on *nix will need to open Main.java and replace all instances of the windows-specific file separator "\\" with "/".

It should be using the java.io.File.separator[0] constant for platform independence.

For future reference, just using slash ("/") will work for both Windows and Unix systems (linux and OSX)

I'm not sure I'd call "uploading code" to a website "open sourcing."

Where is your LICENSE file? Where are licensing terms discussed?

Open source isn't just code; the license you release under is equally, and perhaps even more, important than the code.

Fair enough criticism here, but this is a high schooler. Instead of coming on strong with HEY WHERE IS THIS AND THAT, understand that he "open-sourced" the project to learn stuff. So since I don't have the proper knowledge to explain the open-source license stuff, maybe you could explain a bit or point to a good read so he/she can continue to learn.

Did you even click the link? This was a 2005 high school project, so the author is 3 years out of college.

Relax, I've added an MIT licence :).

FreshCode3• 13 years ago

Will add an MIT licence tonight.
