| 32 | ### Running | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | After building vxgg, run the `runscreen.sh` script: | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | ```bash | ||
| 37 | ./runscreen.sh | ||
| 38 | ``` | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | ### Recovering your files | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | vxgg 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 | |||
| 52 | Alternatively, 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 | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | I 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. | ||
