Hangman-game

Project for DUT R&T

Documentation :

You can use the program just with

python3 main.py #on linux

py main.py #on windows

You can also add some options :

python3 main.py [-t] [-log] [-m server|client]

Legend :

• t is used to activate terminal mode
• -log show you the log, for example the data sent
• -m client|server is used to start directly in the mode you selected
• note that it is -m client OR -m server

The next step is to start the connection. -> Server side, it's simple, we put a socket to listen, in a while loop, and with for each new connection, the server start a new thread. The server display is own IP (know with the function get_ip())

On the client, you enter the @IP and port combination of the server, then, the program check your entry with the function verifIPport(), then if it's correct, we connect us to the server

To simplify entering the server IP, a copy function to the IP clipboard has been implemented. copie()

After the connection start, the client can send requests to the server. To identify the client, the client need to send the combination of is MAC address (the function get_mac return the MAC) and the port used.

For the client sends a first request, from 'StartGame', this request allows the server to choose a word and sends it to the client as an underscore

The client just has to enter his proposal (it can be a word or a letter), then send it to the server which returns a response:

• either the letter of the word is false (false)
• either a letter that is filled (right)

If the number of tries has reached its maximum, the user loses.

Otherwise, he wins !

Utility of the projet:

This module brought us different things,

First of all, we reused all the aspects and all the knowledge that we saw in TP :

• opening / writing in a file
• make a web request
• the random module
• the threading module But we also learned by ourselves (learning to tkinter and turtle)

@Its-Just-Nans participated a lot, he also invested in the creation of some programs that you can found in his Github

Improvements:

• First of all, we are aware that our program is not very secure and that it should be made more secure.
• Also we were a little selfish and it only works in French, we could make a lang options at the start of the program (to translate each button or sentence in the program)
• Multiplayer is also an option but it's experimental (you can found it in the branch multi)

Difficulties:

We encountered several difficulties:

• drawing for the graphical interface and learning how to use Tkinter
• Both mode (terminal and graphic) can do the same exact thing
• The use of server-side threads was also an additional difficulty
