Connect 4 (Networking)

DESCRIPTION

A digital version of the popular board game Connect 4. To win, you need to connect four of your own tokens either horizontally, vertically or diagonally.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

This game was made for a networking module during my study. Goal of this module was to produce a small networking based game. The base code I worked with provided by the study, contained the code that was responsible for converting certain datatypes into bytes, as well as converting them back into their initial state. 

In this project, a server running on the local network is responsible for handling logins, managing lobbies and game events. The server is notified of any actions done by the connected clients by receiving object-based packages, containing all the important information needed, sending all the processed information back to all users who need it afterwards.

HINTS

1. Visual studio is needed to run the server

2. Make sure that both the "server" and "shared" folder are in the same directory
