Space Trader Java - Version 1.12

There are two files in this version - you only need one.

spacetrader.jar 	- Playable version. Includes binary only
spacetrader_full.jar 	- Playable, with all code included.

To play the game, just download whichever file you wish, put it a fresh directory,
and run it (See below). Naturally, you'de need a Java SE Runtime (Version 5.0 or later).

NOTE: When the game runs, it creates a few directories and files in the 
directory where it is run from, so you'de like to use a clean directory for it.

To run the game:
From windows file manager: double-click the JAR file.
or, from command-prompt:	java  -jar spacetrader.jar
	 	 or, better:	javaw -jar spacetrader.jar

and that's it. Under other OS's, I'm just not sure; A good guess would be to try the same.
		 
If you wish to play with the code: the file spacetrader_full.jar contains both binary
and source code, and even the eclipse project files. A JAR file is really just a ZIP
file, so you can extract it any way you're used to.
However, you might want to download the code from SourceForge CVS server - that's where
the latest code always is. The project is titled "spacetraderjava" whenever SourceForge's
management is involved.

 
Have fun! More will follow!

- Many code changes, that don't (shouldn't) affect game.

- Fixed the bug where there was no upper limit on the amounts of Design Points you could
  put in your ship.

---- Changes from 1.1:
- Game now runs under Linux, Mac, and hopefully everything else. Thanks Chris and Sonia!

---- Changes from 0.9, 1.0:
- Seperate main window to several classes.
- Enable play in non-cheat mode (Just enter a name in the New Game dialog)
- Fixed bugs in high-score: sort during save, read from file
