Wordasaurus

Word guessing game demonstrating client and server programming in C++.

Overview

Created as group project for Seattle University class CSPC5042, spring quarter 2020.

Project members:

• Audrey Morin
• Ken Comvandee
• Noah Glusenkamp

Project Idea

We built a word guessing game that is inspired by the online game Drawasaurus. A player can use the command-line client program to can connect to the server by logging in or signinp up with a username and password and start a new game. The server will choose a secret word at random from a bank and give the player the number of letters in the word as well as a clue. The player sends guesses to the server until the correct word is guessed. Then, a new word is picked by the server and the game continues. The client can also send commands to to skip a word, display their score, display the leaderboard, display the highest score recorded to their account, or exit the game. The user can also contribute to our bank of words and hints. The server is multithreaded and can accept multiple clients playing concurrently.

Compile

Server

make -C src/server

Client

make -C src/client

Run

Server

./bin/server         --->  will use default port 12119
./bin/server <PORT>  --->  will use specified port

Client

./bin/client              --->  will use default IP address 127.0.0.1 and default port 12119
./bin/client <IP> <PORT>  --->  will use specified IP address and specified port number
./bin/client cloud        --->  will use our google cloud virtual machine's IP address and default port 12119

Play on our live server

Just clone this repo, cd into the project directory, and run the client release with the cloud option.

git clone https://github.com/msdrey/CPSC5042Project.git
cd CPSC5042Project
./releases/linux/client cloud
