If you are using the 1.0.0 version, please read this section.
Also, if you are using a release of this program (.jar file), please read this section.
Software (made in Java) where you can have a record of every game you have beaten (completed) so far!
If you want to save a list with all the games that you have completed so far, you can create a completed-game register. This one is an object that has the following fields:
- Name of the game.
- The year when you completed it.
- Your rating of the game (from 1 to 5).
- Some comments or thoughts about it.
- Your annotations, like something you must consider before playing it.
- A spoiler (at the visualization panel, it won't be visible at first).
The only one of the above mentioned that isn't optional is the first field: the title of the game.
Also, you can see additional information about the game like its description, their publishers and developers, its genres, and even an image or screenshot! These things are thanks to the RAWG's database API.
- This program requires at least Java 1.8 to be executed (in fact, is recommended to run it at that version). You can download it here.
- This program uses the Open Sans font by default, but it isn't necessary to run it. Anyways, if you want to download it, click here.
- When you are downloading game information, it will take a few seconds to process it (be patient).
Most of the game information files (.json, inside data/game/json folder), which can be downloaded from the creation/editing menu of a completed-game register, won't be accessible if you got them in the version 1.0.0 and want to access them in future versions. This is because of a modification made in the name of the files, doing it more compatible with more special characters.
If you are currently using the 1.0.0 version and you downloaded game information (only .json files) but you want to update your JAR file (or update from git), it's recommendable to delete and re-download these files.
Note: This won't affect the game registers that you have created. This is related to the .json files which are inside the data/game/json folder.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
It's recommended to save that JAR file into an empty folder. This is because this program creates a new folder named data, where all the files are going to be saved and modified.
You just need to download the JAR file and put it in the same location as the previous one. In fact, you can delete the old one and let there the new one. Note: Please read the notes provided in the release versions, so you can finally decide to update or to stay in the same version.
All the run files are inside of the bin folder. Be sure to run them at that same location.
- In Windows, click and execute the
run.batfile (or type.\run.bat). - In Linux, click and execute the
run.shfile (or typesh run.sh).
This software is not perfect. Exists the possibility to find a bug that could ruin the user experience, so if you found a bug, I encourage you to report it! (you can even suggest a new feature!).
All the icons and images that are used in this program (except for those which can be downloaded through RAWG's database API) are entirely made by me, from zero. I don't own any of the games that are mentioned on the screenshots.
