• Old project with no build automation tool (like Gradle)
• The ConsolePG.jar is the library that was provided to easily draw content to the screen
• In IntelliJ, go to Project Structure -> Libraries -> Add the library ConsolePG.jar
• The .idea only has the artifacts and run configurations

1. https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/compiling-applications.html#package_into_jar
2. If the ConsolePG.jar was added into the Project, there's no need to explicitly add it in the artifact
3. The config will be at .idea/artifacts/Snake_Game_Artifact_jar.xml
4. The artifact Snake_Game_Artifact_Final just includes the copy of the levels.txt

1. Since using the wildcard '*' only searches in 1 directory and doesn't perform a recursive search, the Single Argument File option should be used. So we need to generate a file that lists all the .java files as the list of arguments to pass to the java compiler.
   1. Linux (Bash) -> find -name "*.java" > sources.txt
   2. Windows (in Command Line aka Command Prompt, not PowerShell (used by default in IntelliJ)) -> dir /s /B .\src\isel\poo\*.java > sources.txt
2. javac -d ./build @sources.txt -cp ConsolePG.jar
3. Make sure you have a META-INF folder inside src/. It should have a MANIFEST.MF file with:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: isel.poo.snake.ctrl.Snake

Creating the artifact through IntelliJ interface automatically creates this file.

4. cd build && jar xf ..\ConsolePG.jar && cd .. // extract the contents of the .jar file to the build directory
5. jar cfm .\out\artifacts\Snake-Game-Manual.jar .\src\META-INF\MANIFEST.MF -C ConsolePG.jar . -C .\build . //cfm -> create a JAR file, m -> merge manifest, f -> output to file
6. copy levels.txt .\out\artifacts\

• java -jar out/artifacts/Snake_Game_Artifact_jar/Snake-Game-Artifact.jar //Option 1
• java -jar out/artifacts/Snake-Game-Manual.jar //Option 2
