I wonder if this could be made to work in the browser using CheerpJ?

Interesting. I hadn't heard of this before. I'll have to check it out.

Lead dev of CheerpJ here, if you need support you can find us on Discord: https://discord.gg/X9ruPkchM5

Edit: Tool a quick look at the repo, if the game is a Java 8 Swing application (as it seems) then it will most likely work out-of-the-box with CheerpJ

Ported my java game to Cheerp and it was the easiest thing ever. I highly recommend and you can see the results here: http://liarsdiceonline.com

Only criticism is that it can take a few MINUTES to initially load the game and there isn't a loading bar or anything

I see the game was ported with the legacy CheerpJ 2.3 runtime. Consider upgrading to the new CheerpJ 3.0. Improving boot times has been one of our main goals and upgrading is very easy: https://cheerpj.com/docs/migrating-from-cheerpj2

Fun game! I thought you programmed it wrong till I realized in your version of liars dice 1s are wild. Also never played the way of guessing the total number of dots, and we always have loser go first on the next round. Thanks for sharing!

In our game, one's are wild unless ones are specifically called. Yes, the loser should go next.
