Our assignment in the Java course was to develop a multiplayer text based game.
Off course we weren't very much satisfied with the text based. So we added some extra graphical elements. We even added some sounds.
You can download the result of it in a nice rar file. It contains three jar files. Two of them are relevant.
You should have at least Java 1.5 installed to play the game.
You have to play the game with at least two and at most four players. Each one of the players needs the "client.jar" file.
And one of the players needs all three the files.
The player with the "server.jar" files has to start this file with the following command in a prompt:
"java -jar server.jar"
After that, he has to configure the port where the other players will connect to. After that he may start the server.
Now it's the turn of the other players.
They can start there "client.jar" file with:
"java -jar client.jar"
Off course the player who plays server, can also start the client, so he can join the others.
Now, when you are in the game, you choose "new game".
Now comes the important part: you have to fill in the ip address and the port of the server.
After that you can create a new player if it's your first time you play, or you can log in with an existing account.
Next you choose your character and you are in the game.
Now you can chat with the other players who are already inside.
Next thing to do is for the server to go back to the server application and press the "start game" button.
Well there you go, now you can play the game.
Make sure you read the game rules to know how the game goes.
