Antivirus Notice

The Standalone version may trigger a false positive in your antivirus software because it contains an unsigned executable. This is common for small open-source projects that cannot afford code signing certificates.

If your antivirus blocks the standalone version:
1. Use the Portable version instead (requires Java)
2. Or add an exception in your antivirus for the game folder
