Just compile the game in a runnable jar, and put the resources next to the actual jar instead of in the jar. You might wanna fix that since not alot of people have JDK."},{"author_name":"UrbanHelsing","author_uid":"44682","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 4:42pm","epoch":1429807020,"text":"The walk part takes too long time"},{"author_name":"Kalman90Grape","author_uid":"41616","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 6:59pm","epoch":1429815240,"text":"@pianoman373 thanks for the feedback.

You are sitting on your front porch on a beautiful Summer day. You see a man in very nice clothing walking down the sidewalk carrying a brown book. The man stops at your house and walks up to your porch and introduces himself. He asks you questions about your faith. You need to answer all of them using Bible verses that you've written down before-hand on a cheat sheet for just such an occasion. Can you do it?\r\n\r\nThis game is based on the idea of a Catholic Apologist, using the Bible as his weapon of choice. Once the game starts you will have to type in Bible verses from your cheat sheet to answer the Christian man, but you'll have to look them up in a Bible to figure out which one is appropriate.\r\n\r\nThis is my third Ludum Dare now, and my first Jam. I entered the Jam because I was simply too busy during the first two days of the competition to finish the game. As it is, I only got around 20 hours of work in the game over the course of the 3 days I worked on it. I made this game by myself, all the code is by me, the graphics are by me, and the sound(which is non-existent) is by me. Written in Java, as usual by now. To run the game, download the zip, extract it's contents to a folder, and run the .bat file. If .bat files don't work on your computer, hopefully you know how to use the java commands to run it. The source files are in the zip as well.\r\n\r\n\r\nNote: This game is not aimed at anyone. I am not trying to say anything about anyone's beliefs, I have simply written a game where you answer questions about mine. I hope you enjoy it.","title":"Catholic Apologetics Simulator"}
