TicTacToe- Distributed Java RMI Game

Introduction

This project presents a distributed TicTacToe game developed in Java, utilizing bidirectional Remote Method Invocation (RMI) for communication. The game's graphical user interface is crafted with Java Swing, offering a visually appealing and user-friendly experience.

Features

  • Basic TicTacToe Gameplay: Includes the essential functionalities such as waiting for a match, making moves, winning, losing, and drawing.
  • Chat Functionality: Enhance the gaming experience with an in-game chat feature, allowing players to communicate during matches.
  • Leaderboard: Track and display player rankings, adding a competitive edge to the game.
  • Error Handling and Reconnection Strategy:
    • If both players unexpectedly disconnect, the match is canceled.
    • If one player voluntarily quits, the other is declared the winner.
    • In case of an accidental disconnection, the remaining player waits for 30 seconds. The match resumes if reconnection is successful; otherwise, it's considered a draw.

How to Play

  1. Start the Game: Launch the application.
  2. Wait for an Opponent: The system will match you with another player.
  3. Gameplay: Use the mouse to make your moves on the TicTacToe grid.
