1. All players send their words to the server and then the server sends it to each of the other players
2. After a player enters a word it needs to be sent to the rest of the players and the other players should be waiting to receive it.
3. Only the player whose turn it is to play should have his text field as editable.

server: receives word from current player and the sends to the rest of the players https://github.com/jordansoans2002/Miniproject_1B/blob/master/src/main/java/com/example/miniproject_1b/multiplayer_server.java client: should send each guess to the server when it is the current players chance. should receives other player's guesses from the server https://github.com/jordansoans2002/Miniproject_1B/blob/master/src/main/java/com/example/miniproject_1b/multiplayer_client.java

server with game controller is functional

• [x] need to design client for 2-player
• [x] allow multiplayers on the same server
• [x] use multithreading to allows simultaneous sending and receiving to simplify the flow
• [x] use multithreading to update the GUI and send/receive at the same time

[jordansoans2002]

Testing with GUI on both sides not done Server may not be able to accept multiple clients

[jordansoans2002]

Not yet tested with more than 2 PCs but seems like it should be working fine

[jordansoans2002]

Accepts only one connection but doesnt seem to be accepting the second connection

[jordansoans2002]

Fixed

[jordansoans2002]

• [ ] Whenever host changes a setting the setting should change on the clients screen too
• [ ] Allow client to suggest changes by mildly highlighting choice of the client

Can try sending messages with a prefix for certain settings. Will need to start the networking thread earlier
