I am expanding my coding knowledge and decided to learn more about how to set up servers and clients to play games across computers. I designed a simple game where two users repeatedly send words in trying to send the same word.
The architecture that I used was Server to Client meaning that one or more clients can connect to a server to receive data. I am using TCP for this program and the port number I am using is 12345. For the messages sent I was using the client_socket.sendall() function along with the encode() function to convert it to binary. To receive messages I was using the client_socket.recv(<accepted length>) function which along with the decode() function to convert it back to the original text.

- Windows Command Terminal
- Python
- TCP
- socket
- threading

- Clean up code and add more descriptive comments
- Make sure that server knows when everyone has left the game and to close
- Make more game functionalities to make the game more exciting. Like update the clients with more information as the game is going on or keep track of how many times it takes them to find a match
