Lottery Game: Client-Server implementation

LotteryGame is a simple Client-Server Lottery Simulator playable just through the terminal. Implementend through socket programming in C.

It handles multiple session by managing multiple TCP connections. This project is an assignement for the Computer Networks' exam (Reti Informatiche) of the BSc in Computer Engineering (Ingegneria Informatica) at the University of Pisa.
The following project was ran and tested on Debian 8 distribution.

How to use

1. Clone the repository and through the terminal enter in the same downloaded directory and type: > make

2. Firstly run the server by typing:

   ./lotto_server *port_number* [*period*]

port_number: port which identifies the process of the server
period: time (in minutes) to wait before each extraction

3. Then open a new Terminal and run the client by typing:

   ./lotto_client *ip_address_server* *port_number*

port_number: port which identifies the process of the server (must be the same)
ip_address_server: ip address (IPv4) of the server, in this example will be 127.0.0.1 (because we are running client and server in the same host

4. You can now type !help to watch which commands are available. You must register and then log-in: you can send to the server your bet, watch past extractions, show your past wins and so on.
