Schwimmen Card Game & Server

This card game is based of a popular german & austrian card game called Schwimmen (eng. swimming) and can be played offline or online.

DISCLAIMER: May include bugs (this is my first proper project with java/processing)

Game Setup

Using the Binary

• Download the latest binary release for your platform (note: files with -java at the end include Java 17, download them if you dont have Java 17 installed)
• Extract the archive and start the game.

Using Processing

• Download & Install processing4
• Clone this repo
• Open the Processing Project (the card_game folder) in processing4 and run or build it. You can also use the processing-java cli tool to run/build the project.

Custom Music

If you want to listen to music put some into the data/music folder. In game click on Toggle Music to Start it. If you use mp3 files you have to wait a bit after clicking toggle muic as it takes some time tos decode the mp3. It is recommended to not use mp3 but wav or aif.

Server Setup

As with the Game Setup, get the binary from the releases or build it yourself with processing4.

# Optionally customize these environment variables to change the default port and host
