Video: demonstration of the playable alpha 0.1 version

Today, I want to highlight a derivative Pepper&Carrot video game and open-source project named "Pepper&Carrot - Endless Runner Game", made by WinterLicht. A first alpha build was released not long ago for both desktop computers and Android devices:

Desktop computer:

PepperCarrotEndlessRunner_v0-1alpha_for-desktop.jar
(Java, MD5checksum: 287777fd9a2c797c2a8fe0e6cb710684)

Playing on Ubuntu 20.04LTS

The game works with Java 8 and Ubuntu 20.04 has Java 11 installed. To launch the game, I installed :

sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk

Then I setup java default environment (to ensure to continue to use 11 as default after the install of 8)

sudo update-alternatives --config java

Then I could also manually launch the game

/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java -jar PepperCarrotEndlessRunner_v0-1alpha_for-desktop.jar

Android APK:

PepperCarrotEndlessRunner_v0-1alpha_for-android.apk (Android, MD5checksum: e69b06b0b93f2b887adc01777e7d50b3)

All the code and assets of this game are Free, Libre and Open-Source (code under GPLv3 and assets under CC-By 4.0), and are available on GitHub. But I'll also host here a snapshot ZIP just in case.

So, if you have related skills and want to help a beautiful project, feel welcome to improve something. This little open-source game deserves love and attention :-) Thank you WinterLicht for all the work done so far!
