💿 How to use the program

Server side:

• Download the project from github

git clone https://github.com/Multiplayer-Game-Server/Multiplayer_Game_Server.git
cd ./Multiplayer_Game_Server

• Start a server on one of the host

python ./server.py

Client side:

Only the client.py file is required. All players should have client.py file.

• Download the project from github

git clone https://github.com/Multiplayer-Game-Server/Multiplayer_Game_Server.git
cd ./Multiplayer_Game_Server

• Start a client on one of the host (Running the client through the terminal):

python ./client.py

• If the connection to the server is successful, you will be offered a choice of 2 functions:
  • Create Game: selecting this option creates a new game that new players can join.
  • Connect to the game: when this option is selected, the player is prompted to enter the id of the room he wants to connect to. If the connection is successful, he will be added to the room
• After you have connected to the room, you can wait for new players or press ENTER to switch to ready status.
• After all players are ready, the round begins with a question and 4 answer choices. Use the numbers 1-4 to choose the answer. Using numbers other than 1-4 is automatically considered incorrect and you get 0 for the round.
