Setup

1. Download the source code from GitHub
2. Open the project in IntelliJ and change the SERVER_IP in PSClient.java to your computers local IP address
3. Build the server and client artifacts
4. Download JavaFX SDK and extract it somewhere safe
5. When running the client and server, add --module-path .\PATH_TO\javafx-sdk-XX.X.X\lib and --add-modules=javafx.controls,javafx.fxml,javafx.web to the run command

The Development Path

By default, Kyronet doesn't support sending files across the network. Although this post is being made way after release, I remember this process being hard to debug, but this isn't a fault of Kyronet. Both the client and server are kept in one source file. I never want to design an app like this again, but it was a carryover from Weeb Detector which was smaller in scope. Like most things, I want to remake this in Rust and have an easier way of changing the supplied IP address to the client.
