git clone https://github.com/egedarici/Collecto.git
cd Collecto/src

2. Make Sure Java is Installed

java -version
javac -version

3. Compile the Project

Run this inside the src directory:

javac client/*.java server/*.java game/*.java protocols/*.java

4. Start the Server

In one terminal:

Give any port and name to your server:

Enter port, followed by a server description (E.g. 1234 Bob's server)

5. Start the Clients

Then follow the prompts:

• Enter a client description: Player1 or Player2
