How to Play:

Build the game (skip if you already have the .jar file) If you do not yet have the .jar file, you’ll first need to build it using Gradle. Open a terminal in the project directory and run the following command to build the project:

./gradlew build-cs108

This will create the JAR file (BattleOfBuds,jar) in the /build/libs/ directory.. Ensure that both the server and client machines are connected to the same network (this can be on the same machine), and that the network allows peer-to-peer connections. Then navigate to the folder where the JAR file is located and start a server with a port number. (Note: the port number must match on both the server and client side.) Format:

java -jar ./build/libs/BattleOfBuds.jar server <port>

You should see:

Server started
Waiting for connection on port <port>…

To start the client and connect to the server, use the following format:

java -jar ./build/libs/BattleOfBuds.jar client <port>:<ip> [<username>]
