Guess Game

Overview

This project implements a multiplayer "Guess the Word" game using a client-server architecture. The server is built with TypeScript and Node.js, providing game logic. The client connects to the server to participate in the game. The communication between the client and server is done over TCP sockets.

Technologies Used

• Node.js: JavaScript runtime for the server.
• TypeScript: Typed superset of JavaScript for both client and server.
• net: Node.js module for creating TCP servers and clients.
• Rust: Used for the rust server that is still WIP, not working as it should, use the node.js server instead.

Game Flow

1. Client connects to the server.
2. Server sends an initial message.
3. Client sends a password to authenticate.
4. Server assigns an ID to the client upon successful authentication.
5. Client can request a list of possible opponents.
6. Client can request a match with an opponent by specifying a word to guess.
7. The opponent is informed of the match and begins guessing.
8. Client A (initiator) is informed of the progress of Client B (guesser).
9. Client A can send hints to Client B.
10. Match ends when Client B guesses the word or gives up.
11. Both clients are informed of the match result and return to the main menu.
