TicServer

Allows multiple users to connect and send chat messages and play tic-tac-toe remotely.

How To Play

Server:

gcc ticsvr.c -o ticsvr

./ticsvr -p portnumber (e.g. ./ticsvr -p 5656)

Client 1:

nc hostname portnumber (e.g. nc localhost 5656)

Client 2:

nc hostname portnumber (e.g. nc localhost 5656)

etc.

Additional Details

• The first two people to connect will be Player 1 and Player 2 for the tic-tac-toe game
• All subsequent joining users can only observe the game and send chat messages
• If one of the players disconnect, then another user will take their place
• The user that takes their place is decided on a first-come, first-served basis
• The server receives notifications whenever any user connects and disconnects

Next Steps

• Let users choose their usernames (easy fix)
• Connect to a front-end
