# Setting up Cell2D in Eclipse IDE

1. Download Cell2D.
2. Extract the Cell2D ZIP file. Inside is a folder called C*ell2D-\<version>*, where \<version> is Cell2D's version number.
3. Open Eclipse IDE.

### Configuring a project to use Cell2D

1. In the **Package Explorer** tab, right-click or control-click on the project that you want to use Cell2D with. Select **Properties**.
2. In the list on the left of the Properties window, select **Java Build Path**. In the row of tabs at the top, select **Libraries**.
3. Select **Add External JARs**. Navigate to the folder C*ell2D-\<version>/lib/* and add all of the JARs in there: *lwjgl.jar*, *lwjgl\_util.jar*, *jorbis-0.0.17-1.jar*, and *TiledReader.jar*. Then, add C*ell2D-\<version>/natives/jinput.jar*, and finally add C*ell2D-\<version>/Cell2D.jar*.

### Running a Cell2D project

1. Make a new folder, preferably in the folder of your Eclipse project. This folder will contain the native libraries that Cell2D, and thus your game, needs in order to run.
2. Now you need to copy the native libraries into your new folder.
   1. No matter what, copy C*ell2D-\<version>/natives/jinput.jar*. Despite being a JAR file, *jinput.jar* only works if it's included in the native library path, at least from my experience.
   2. If you want your game to run on Windows (32-bit), copy the files in C*ell2D-\<version>/natives/windows32/*.
   3. If you want your game to run on Windows (64-bit), copy the files in C*ell2D-\<version>/natives/windows64/*.
   4. If you want your game to run on Mac OS X, copy the files in C*ell2D-\<version>/natives/macosx/.*
   5. If you want your game to run on Linux (32-bit), copy the files in C*ell2D-\<version>/natives/linux32/.*
   6. If you want your game to run on Linux (64-bit), copy the files in C*ell2D-\<version>/natives/linux64/.*
3. In your project's `main()` method, before you call `CellGame.startGame()`, call `CellGame.loadNatives("<path>")`, where \<path> is the path from your project's folder to the native library folder.
4. When distributing your game, make sure to include the native library folder.
