Hello!
I love your project.
However, please fix the following issue(s) so we can allow you to submit this:
- As previous shipwrights have said, this is not an acceptable demo. The file in your release must be an executable, it cannot require the user to download java or anything. Please compile it into a .exe or similar.
Any questions or concerns can be directed to @Jack Jacobson on slack or the #ask-the-shipwrights channel and know that we can't wait to see what you will make next!

Hey SelinaZ,
Awesome project! However, I think your demo instructions in the README are out of date. They should contain the instructions stated in the demo description, which seem to be the correct ones. I would also recommend having extra information about the game in the README, as this is what a voter will see first when they look at your project! This can be information about the controls or screenshots of the game. Once this is corrected, we are happy to take another look. I'd love to see what you make in the future!
For any other questions, DM @stunt or create a ticket in Slack—#ask-the-shipwrights.

Sorry, I have to reject this project because the project needs to be runnable without requiring the user to download Java and run the terminal command themselves. It should be shipped as something like an exe or something similar.

Your demo link cannot be README and you cannot require user to clone the repo to test the project. Furthermore the clone URL is correct.
Please provide either an executable / .jar file in github release with instruction on how to run it, and set the github release link as demo link, thank you!

Ship #1
I wrote the readme with executables and doubled checked everything is working. Then I pushed the changes to Github, and it should be good to go! However, since this is a Java project, I can’t deploy it to a web browser. So it can only be run on a local PC.
I added a start and a replay button so the user can keep playing the game. The game is working perfectly and now just have to clean up the code and add in some more comments! Also need to work on deployment as well.
I have successfully implemented the game logic and added a score display. Now the game will end whenever the bird falls out of the frame or hit one of the poles.
I started coding my first ever game in Java. I’ve never code anything in Java before, but I’m about to take a course in Java, so I wanna start getting my hands on it early. This will be a very basic platformer game, since I’m just getting started on it, I don’t want to make things very complicated.
