So I see you downloaded A Game Of Text, eh?

Q. What is it?
A. It is a game that runs in a Command-Line or Terminal. That means it has no graphics. Only text. As of version 1.0.1, it is a game where you are trapped in a dark room and need to escape (how original).

Q. How do I launch it?
A. NOT BY DOUBLE CLICKING ON THE FILE!!! To properly launch it, go to your command line and navigate to the folder where you saved TextGame.class. This is done by typing:

cd Folder/Foldername/Foldername/Foldername/Foldername [Enter]
	(replace "Foldername" with whatever your actual folders are called.)

then enter "ls" to make sure TextGame.class is there.

Now type "java TextGame" AND NOT "java TextGame.class." Adding that extra ".class" will cause this error to appear:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: TextGame/class
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: TextGame.class
	at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202)

	at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:301)
	at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:247)

If you entered "java TextGame" this will appear:
