Multiplayer implementation of Tsuro using remote clients and a server. The traditional rules for Tsuro can be found here - this implementation differs slightly in that a player always receives another tile after placing one, but the overall concept is still the same.
Initially, the server will wait for at least 3 clients to connect via localhost. When a client joins, the server will internally create a thread for the client, assign it a random available color, and send it a welcome message acknowledging a successful connection. Once 3 clients join, the server will inform them that the game will begin once a maximum of 2 other clients join, or 30 seconds elapses - whichever comes first.
Ansh can view the tiles in his hand to choose from, as well as the one he has currently selected. He can also see the board and the coordinates at which his selected tile will be placed when he confirms his move. The automated referee ensures that only legal placements are allowed.
Once Ansh finalizes his move, the board updates in real time within each player's individual client program to reflect this progression in the game. Allen can now see that Ansh placed a tile at coordinates (1,0), which caused the player with the white color token to automatically advance further into the board along the newly created path. Allen can now use this information to determine his own move, and the game continues this cycle until only one player remains, or a joint victory occurs.
