How to get Fortress, and give it a try

The best way to play with Fortress is to check it out from the repository, using subversion.

svn checkout https://projectfortress.sun.com/svn/Community/trunk PFC

To compile that, type

cd PFC/ProjectFortress
ant compile

In that directory (sorry, it's not that general-purpose yet) you can interpret fortress programs by typing (for example)

../bin/fortress demos/sudoku.fss

Alternatively, you can download a pre-compiled zip archive here
