 ## 📌 Overview
 This project was the made up of the first three homework assignments for the Programming Paradigms class. The first assignment was an introduction to Java. The second was to use JSON to create a map editor that could save and load data. The third assignment was to use polymorphism to make a statue strafe, a mushroom grow, and a turtle jump.

+## 🛠️ Prerequisites
+- Java Development Kit (JDK) 8 or higher
+- A terminal/command prompt to run the bash/batch scripts
+
+## 🚀 How to Run After Downloading
+
+### Quick Start
+Once you have downloaded the folder:
+
+**On Linux/Mac:**
+```bash
+chmod +x run.bash
+./run.bash
+```
+
+**On Windows:**
+```batch
+run.bat
+```
+
+### Manual Compilation and Execution
+If the scripts don't work, you can manually compile and run:
+```bash
+javac Main.java View.java Controller.java Model.java Json.java
+java Main
+```
+
 ## 📂 Folder Structure
 The Java files are all different files needed for the common Model, View, Controller architecture seen in programming. The view is what a user can currently see, the model is what is happening in the entire world of thr program, and the controller is how the program handles inputs from the user. Main.java is what interconnects the model, view, and controller to make the game work. There is also a map.json and folder for images which allows the user to put images onto the screen, save the image positions, and then reload the images which is a common technique used to save the current state of programs. Finally, the run.bash file is a bash script used to make running the program quicker and increase productivity. If on a windows machine (which is what I used), use the run.bat file.
 
+### File Descriptions
+- **Main.java** - Entry point that connects MVC components
+- **Model.java** - Handles the game world and logic
+- **View.java** - Manages the visual display
+- **Controller.java** - Handles user input and interactions
+- **Json.java** - Manages saving/loading map data from JSON
+- **map.json** - Stores map state data
+- **images/** - Contains PNG files for game objects
+- **run.bash** - Linux/Mac run script
+- **run.bat** - Windows run script
