I uploaded the source code here:
https://gitlab.com/iKarith/heroscribeI don't really intend to take over the project from whomever consider it "theirs" at this point, assuming there is any such person. There's no build script or project files because my source didn't have those things. I suspect it's a single line compile anyway, but haven't tried yet. Not opposed to (and actually want to "do it right"—but I dunno what constitutes "right" in Java circles. Like a gradle script or something? I dunno.
This is JUST source code right now because, again, build scripts. Once that's sorted, I'll start thinking about the assets. If there are other versions of Heroscribe out there (propvault.com is gone) I'll be happy to try to work in those features if someone's got the source or it was included with the program or something—after it's building.
I can't promise I'm going to pick up developing new features though, though I can certainly name several it'd be nice to have added! I'd rather see development move to Python and SVG than remain Java and EPS. Ghostscript is a weird ask for Windows users, and Java's an absolute mess more or less everywhere (thanks Oracle!)
A web interface might be interesting—it'd certainly make for a much nicer UI than Java can typically offer, but I can't claim to have ever known much JavaScript, so I don't want to commit to a project of that magnitude unless others who are much better prepared to do it come along.
The nice thing about it is that because this is a git repository, anybody who downloads the repository will have a full and complete backup of whatever's in it. All the more reason to get everything into it!
