This project aims to improve my skills on networking within games via a small bomberman-like game. The project will make use of a server that will handle & validate data received by the clients before processing it. Afterwards, it will inform all clients about the new state of the game. The client & server can also communicate between eachother while running on different platforms.
This project supports x86 & x64 for Windows as well as ARM & ARM64 for Linux.
To setup the project on Windows, simply download or clone the project and run both the client & server. As the game is unable to be played alone, the server must have at least 2 clients connected to the server.
To setup the project on ARMs, make sure a remote machine that supports ARM is connected to your Visual Studio.
Make sure to first install SFML on the remote machine via the following command sudo apt-get install libsfml-dev if you wish to use the client.
Afterwards, either download or clone the project and run both the client & server.
As the game is unable to be played alone, the server must have at least 2 clients connected to the server.
