Projeto RC

The goal of this project is to develop a simple version of the Master Mind game. The development of the project requires implementing a Game Server (GS) and a Player Application (Player). The GS and multiple Player application instances are intended to operate simultaneously on different machines connected to the Internet. The GS will be running on a machine with known IP address and ports.

How to compile program

Open RC2425 folder and compile with the command "make". "make clean" cleans all the files and folders that are created throughout the program.

Run GS

To run the server use the command ./GS with two possible flags:

• "-v" to activate verbose
• "-p port" to set a custom port for the server. Default port: 58030

Run Player

To run the player use the command "./player" with two possible flags:

• "-n" to set a custom target server IP. Default target IP: localhost

• "-p" to set a custom port. Default port: 58030
