Compiling and running

mvn clean compile checkstyle:checkstyle test exec:java -Dexec.args="[flag] [filename]" assembly:single

• you may use either of the command-line switches -a and -l
  • -a followed by a valid JSON filename will load a new adventure with the setting and rooms described in your file
    • If the file is within another directory (outside of root), you must use:
      • ../filename.json to navigate up one directory level, or
      • /foldername/filename.json to enter another folder.
    • a sample JSON file custom_adventure.json is provided in the root directory for use :)
  • -l followed by a valid game save name will load a previously saved game
  • using either of the flags is optional; no flag will load the default adventure
