For whatever reason, the code here on Github does not run (as I'm guessing someone pushed broken code to master during our analysis period.) I've thus created a working archive of the code that's a slightly earlier build. With this build, one can create games, and one can play games. However, we never did fully get the creating a game and loading it in the game player functionality working. However, there are two sample "games" to play with.
Additionally, the High Scores functionality will not work, and will crash the game. Saving / Loading may do the same, because the server for the cloud utility is no longer running.
In order to run the project, use Eclipse Mars (which is what it is tested under). It'll likely work under a future version but cannot be sure.
Download archive, go to Import -> Existing Project. Select the archive. There are two run configurations included -- Game Authoring and Game Player. If you do not see these run configurations, you can either manually launch the PlayerMain.java or GaeMain.java classes, or create new Java Application run configurations for them. Cheers!

- Information about the program:
- Any known bugs, crashes or problems with the project's functionality: Note: after cloning the repository if running the Game Player gives a Hash Failed exception for preexisting games, this is likely due to a leftover part of encryption from someelse's local repository. To fix this either run Civ.java or DemoMaker.java in the demo package to reencode the corresponding XML file or create/load a new game from the Authoring Environment and save it.
- Extra features: Networking, Groovy
