Can someone make this build into a .exe for windows users

[dawnbomb]

.jar sucks, can we please get a .exe

[qwert2763]

1. that's not how jar's work
2. just get java, it's not that bad
3. if you REALLY need an exe, use yy-chr

Perhaps he was suggesting a native "Launcher"? I have seen some Java apps do this—however, this is NOT actually "THE" TileMolester repo (to my knowledge). This is just his < @toruzz > "personal" repo, where we benefit from any fixes that he applies for himself?

Anyways, an alternative strategy to a native "launcher" would be Batch/Bash/Shell scripts, like this:

_gfx_TileMolester_v0.15a.bat:

@ECHO OFF
SET version=v0.15a
REM SET version=v0.15a
REM SET version=v0.16
REM SET version=v0.17a
REM SET version=v0.18
REM SET version=v0.19
REM SET version=v0.20
REM SET version=v0.21
SET THIS_DIR=%~dp0
@START "" "%THIS_DIR%\gfx\TileMolester\%version%\__TILE_MOLESTER__.bat"

__TILE_MOLESTER__.bat:

@ECHO OFF
SET JAR_DIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%JAR_DIR%"
@START "Tile Molester v0.15a" "java.exe" -jar "tm.jar"
REM ...To see shutdown errors, use PAUSE instead of EXIT:
@EXIT

This is also a good way to manage multiple different versions of TileMolester—altho, while we may want to include the second script in the repo, the first script (to select different TM versions) would probably be outside the scope. Additionally, it'd be kind of weird to include a startup script, because Java itself is platform independent, while Batch is Windows, and Bash is normally Mac/Linux. So, that's probably why one isn't included?
