🚀 Live Demo (GitHub Pages)

Starsector WebVM

🏗️ Native Oracle VM Verification

The game is verified to run natively on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (Ubuntu 20.04).

Key Features

• Native LWJGL 2 Execution: Optimized for Oracle VM's virtual framebuffer (Xvfb).
• NoVNC Streaming: Real-time stream accessible via Port 8000.
• Hardware Acceleration: Mesa software rendering (Mesa 21.2+) with GL 3.0 override.
• Resolved Dependencies: Custom linkage for AWT, OpenAL, and LWJGL natives.

Debugging & Evidence

• Launcher Stability: Verified textures and font loading in starsector.log.
• Process Monitoring: Native Java process maintains stable 50-90% CPU during execution.
• Visual Proof: Screenshots and videos captured directly from the VM display.

🛠️ Deployment Instructions

1. Clone the Repo: git clone https://github.com/adybag14-cyber/starsectorquick.git
2. Native Launch: Use bash mega_relaunch.sh on the VM to start the Xvfb/noVNC stack and game.
3. WebVM Build: Run node server.js to serve the CheerpJ version.

📝 Documentation

• WASM Modules: Optimized binaries for WebVM.
• Jars: Complete classpath for native and web execution.
• Natives: Sideloaded X11 and OpenAL libraries.
