This is the source code for Scalatron, a competitive multi-player programming game in which coders pit bot programs (written in Scala) against each other. It is an educational resource for groups of programmers or individuals that want to learn more about the Scala programming language or want to hone their Scala programming skills.

If you want to run Scalatron to play the game or to run a workshop with friends, simply download the latest distribution version as a single .zip file - you do not need the source code. Unzip the downloaded file into a local directory, then look for the Readme.txt file to get started. Have fun!
If you want to get the source code and build Scalatron yourself, download the sources of the 'master' branch and build them with SBT. Once you have SBT installed, switch to the directory where you downloaded the Scalatron sources (the directory that contains this the build.sbt file) and run
sbt dist
This will generate a new directory called dist which contains the same content as the regular distribution. Now cd into /dist/bin and run java -jar Scalatron.jar.
Fork Scalatron here on github and send pull requests. Before embarking on something major, you can contact the maintainer and ask for ideas, feedback or tips on where to get started.
