This repository contains a version of the game that has been adapted for use on one machine for local multiplayer. It was written in Java over the course of a single day and uses the JavaFX library for the user interface. The idea behind this port was to have a locally playable version of the game without the need to have any cards and other gameplay elements at hand.
Spyfall is a game where players are each assigned a role and a general location. One player is randomly selected and does not receive any information. This player is the Spy. The Spy's goal is to find out the location in which the game is currently taking place. At no point are normal players allowed to reveal their role or the location. Players take turns asking other players questions, attempting to find out who the spy is within a limited amount of time. Players can make a majority vote where they decide on a player to be the spy. If the given player is the spy after the vote successfully passes the spy loses and everyone else wins. If the selection is not the spy, the real spy wins the game. The spy can also win the game at any point by calling a timeout and attempting to state the location that the game is taking place in.
This project depends on JavaFX which these days is not shipped with the JDK anymore. Due to this, you will have to manually install it as a dependency from the currently maintained repository. Additionally, there are builds available for various platforms from the project website.
Once you have downloaded the current JavaFX SDK, place it in an easily accessible library directory.
For setup with an IDE read one of the project guides or general assistance and further reference please refer to the JavaFX installation guide.
To build the application run the following command in the src directory.
$ javac com/catlinman/spyfall/Program.java
If you are running solely from the command line, you will have to append arguments to include your JavaFX library. To keep things short on the prompt,we load all available modules.
$ javac --module-path [../JavaFX/lib] --add-modules=ALL-MODULE-PATH
Following up, to run the program from the command line.
$ java -cp .:../res com.catlinman.spyfall.Program
Keep in mind on Windows you will have to use ; as your classpath separator.
$ java -cp ".;../res" com.catlinman.spyfall.Program
You can also build a jar file and package up the program which is recommended in
most cases. Don't forget to run javac beforehand.
$ jar cfm Spyfall.jar manifest.mf com/catlinman/spyfall/*.class
From there on you can run the application using java -jar Spyfall.jar.
The original Spyfall was designed by Alexandr Ushan and published by Hobby World. This is an unofficial project, and is not endorsed or related in any way by the designer or publisher.
