34After building vxgg, run the `runscreen.sh` script:

36```bash
37./runscreen.sh

40### Recovering your files
41
42vxgg uses a "passphrase" system to do its encryption. Think of it like a symmetrical key. When the window pops up, there should be a banner at the top of the screen that says `VX-GAMBLEGROUND: .... PASSPHRASE=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX`. Write down this passphrase if you ever want to recover your files, as it's the encryption key. To decrypt your files, run vxgg again with the flags `-d` and `-p PASSPHRASE`:
43
44```bash
45./VX-GAMBLEGROUND -d -p XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
46# or
47./VX-GAMBLEGROUND -dp XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
48# or
49./VX-GAMBLEGROUND -d --passphrase=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
50```
51
52Alternatively, edit the `encryption.c` file and add `#define TESTING` at the top of the file. This way, encrypted files will be renamed to `filename.ext_PASSPHRASE.vxgg` instead of just `filename.ext.vxgg`

54### Roadmap

56I can't be fucked to care about this program anymore. The joke was a little funny at the start, but now it's just annoying. If you want to fuck around with the code and release your own fork, go ahead, I won't stop you, but I'm done with this piece of shit for a very, very long time.
