Homework 11 - Week 11

Motivation

• Demonstrate your ability to program using Java IO mechanisms.

Instructions

• Your task is to create a networked game.
  • There are two classes to implement. You should not modify any other file to complete this homework.
    • GameClient which should use blocking IO
    • GameServer which should use non-blocking IO
  • To test your solution works, in two separate terminal tabs/windows run the following:
    • Run GameServer
    • Run Game.
      • You can pass in a Difficulty to this program; the default is Easy. If you can beat the game on Easy try Medium and Hard

Implementation

• Ensure your code is correct by compiling and testing it
• A portion of your grade will be based upon readability and organization of your code.
  • Follow the naming guidelines of lecture
  • Break large functions into multiple functions based on logical organizations
• Your code may correctly count the words within the files but may still be incorrect. It must be thread safe as well.

NOTE - will not run correctly on Windows OS

• This homework can be developed on Windows but you'll be unable to run the program (and see Emoji) on a Windows machine. You'll need to do this on a Unix based machine to have the emoji/ASCII-coloring work properly.
• If you do not have access to a Unix based machine (Mac, Linux, etc) then let me know ASAP and I can create a VM for you to use.
