Launch javaFX app from java code

Question

I have a JavaFX card game currently running for single player. I want to enable multiple players playing over TCP socket connections, for which I have a simple client/server skeleton program written in java. My problem is: the server/client code is in java. How do I launch the javafx app from the client java code, and then update it based on the gamestate returned from the server? Simple server-client loop will be: client sends action, server updates gamestate, and echoes it back out to client. ``` client pseudo-code if(!clientGUI.isInitialised()) initJavaFXapp(); // I am struggling to do this //keep reading from server if(obj instanceOf gameState) javaFXGUI.update(obj) ``` I am beginner to using javaFX, and I utilised the graphics aspect as my app is based on it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Accepted Answer

Assuming `MyApplication` class extends `javafx.application.Application` you can launch it next way:

```
 javafx.application.Application.launch(MyApplication.class);
```
