1. Getting started:
- Snake is the common name for a video game concept where the player maneuvers a line which grows in length and avoid obstacles.
- This game uses parallel TCP/IP socket server with multithreading and multiprocessing in C together with other Unix/Linux kernel data structures and therefore only functions properly on terminals in a Unix environment.
- This game uses ncurses to display game console - a programming library providing an application programming interface (API) that allows the programmer to write text-based user interfaces in a terminal-independent manner.
2. Requirement:
- If ncurses is present, the output should produce two lines with the tag [installed] at the end. If no output is produced, then ncurses is not present and you need to install it by running:
sudo apt-get install ncurses-dev
- Because it is a game console, only ncurses package is needed to run the game. Gcc conpile, socket libraries are available on ubuntu.
3. Usage:
- nguoidung.txt: file containing user information: username, password, played-time, won-times, ...
⇒ In this project I do not use the database to store information, you can integrate database into this project to to store information.
- before run makefile you can edit port to suit your computer which use to run socket/client:
server.c: line 13: #define PORT 5500
client.c: line 20: #define PORT 5500
Here I am setting port 5500
- Run makefile and enjoy the game:
On server run: ./server
On clients run: ./client (ip of server)
For example, if you run the server and client on the same computer, the ip might be 127.0.0.1. Otherwise, get the IPv4 address of the server to connect server.
- Enjoy the game:
- Use the keys [W], [A], [S], [D] to move your snake.
- Eat fruit to grow in length.
- Do not run in to other snakes, the game border, the game wall or yourself.
- The first snake to reach length 10 wins!
