Online TicTacToe game

This project is a simple online TicTacToe game for 2 users. The purpose of the project was usage of low-level mechanisms provided in Unix-based systems. Whole project is implemented in C, so as to use all the mechanisms directly.

Package contains 2 programs: server and client. Server may handle multiple clients (it is limited by a constant in the package), even though the game is designed for 2 players (it is possible for the server to handle more than 1 game simultaneously).

• Unix based system
• installed gcc compiler (if other - make sure to change the makefile)
• installed ncurses library

if you do not have the library you can obtain for ex. this way:

    $ sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev

To install first clone the repo:

    $ git clone https://github.com/maxiwoj/TicTacToe.git

Then in the project folder compile the project:

    $ cd TicTacToe
    $ make

To run the client server application is required.

    $ ./server

    $ ./client

Both programs will ask you for all the needed parameters

    $ ./server [port] [UnixSocketFilePath]

where:

• port is a valid port for network connection
• UnixSocketFilePath is a path to nonexistent file, which will be used by server for inner-unix connection

Once you have a server running multiple users can connect to it.

    $ ./client [playerName] local [UnixSocketFilePath]

where

• UnixSocketFilePath is the file path given to server

    $ ./client [playerName] network [serverIpAddress] [serverport]

where:

• serverIpAddress is the Ip address of the machine where server is running
• serverPort is the port given for the server
