This is one of my first software projects and my first computer game. I uploaded it also as a reminder... that I also started very, very simply and wrote horrible code. But I was very proud of it, and it was a magic moment seeing others playing my game. With exactly 600 lines of code (including imports & JDoc) it's even my shortest game. And it doesn't use any graphics.
The game play blueprint is the Nintendo Game & Watch Video Game Fireman from 1980. It was a monochrome single game handheld gaming device. I never owned an original, but the game was included in the Nintendo Game Box Game Game & Watch Gallery from 1997

Platform independent JAR file. ℹ Requires an installed Java JRE.
To build the project, run the Maven task:
mvn package
This will build a runnable jar in target/hospital-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar.
To create a minimal runnable Java executable for Windows using JLink, follow these steps:
- Make sure you have JDK 11 or later installed
- Update the JAVA_HOME path in the
create-jlink-image.batscript if needed - Run the batch script:
create-jlink-image.bat
- This will create a minimal Java runtime with the game in
target/jlink-image - Run the game using the launcher script:
target\jlink-image\bin\hospital.bat
The JLink image contains only the necessary Java modules required to run the game, resulting in a smaller distribution size compared to bundling the entire JRE.
