C4-Protocol

C4-Protocol is the protocol for the Connect4 game of the IN3 group. In this repository you will find the protocol description document and also Java files with constants and a reference implementation of the protocol.

Maven

If you use Maven for your project you can simply add the protocol to your dependencies

<groupId>nl.woutertimmermans.connect4</groupId>
<artifactId>c4-protocol</artifactId>
<version>0.2</version>

How to use the constants?

Simply download the java files containing the constants from this repositor and include it in your java code.

What about the reference implementation?

The reference protocol implementation puts a remote procedure call wrapper around the String protocol. Instead of generating and parsing Strings in your client and server handlers you simply call a method of an local object. It's almost as if there is no network connection.
