Known issues:
  • On linux, if royal spades updates, it won't restart automatically. Thank god java can't execute java; that is a huge security risk!
  • Java 6 won't work because it lacks a working time machine.
  • Countries don't sort.
Troubleshooting:
BEFORE POSTING SAYING YOU HAVE AN ISSUE, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE JAVA 7!
Spoiler:
1) create a new text document
2) in it, put:
Code: Select all
@ECHO OFF
java -jar "Royal Spades.jar"
pause
3) click "Save As"
4) There should be a list with a label "Save as Type". set it to "All Files"
5) Save it with the name "Royal_Spades.bat"
6) There should be a new file called "Royal_Spades". double-click that.

If you encounter an error while running Royal Spades, copy the command prompt, and paste it at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and then post the link here.
Todo list:
  • Clean up code
  • Fix Favorites (finished)
  • Procrastinate More (finished)

"Royal Spades" is much better than "Defagified"

I'm glad you changed it. Blue_Happy2

Never thought of "BnS launcher"?

I couldn't do that for a few reasons:
  • Danhezee/Stackoverflow own BuildAndShoot (moreso, buldthensnip LLC)
  • There is already a "Build and Shoot launcher" managed by StackOverflow, which doesn't have that many good features (except for instance management)
  • I'm not affiliated/endorsed with BuildAndShoot in any way.
"Royal Spades" was an old project I started on, but never really finished because I thought 0.75 was going to die. One of the other "project managers" deleted the repo, which had all the work I had spent on it.

I may resurrect the project later, but for now, this launcher's name will be "Royal Spades".

just run it with java. Your system should have .jar files to automatically run them with Java, so just try right-clicking it and click the bold "Open".
