tcp-pong-game

This a full implementation of the game 'Pong'. This specific implementation of the game is played between two people over a tcp socket network.

One of the two people playing will have to be the host.

Getting Started

First we want to build the binary on both machines intending to play pong with eachother. To do this we use the following commands from:

$ cd ./pong
$ make
g++ -std=c++11 -c -o netpong.o netpong.cpp
g++ -o netpong -std=c++11 -lncurses -lpthread -lz netpong.o

With the binaries now created we have to first run this on the host machine (DIFFICULTY = 'easy','medium', or 'hard':

$ ./netpong --host [PORT NUMBER] [DIFFICULTY]

Then, on the other machine we connect to the host by using the following:

$ ./netpong [HOST NAME] [PORT NUMBER]

Example

Host

$ ./netpong --host 4000 easy
Waiting for challengers on port 4000

Challenger (2nd player besides host)

$ ./netpong student02.cse.nd.edu 4000

The pong game will then begin on both the Host and Challenger machine
