Constructor Detail

OthelloServer

public OthelloServer(java.net.Socket initConnection,
                     int initPlayerNumber)

This constructor initializes the server by setting up all Object I/O to be used to communicate back and forth with this client.

Parameters:

initConnection - - socket that is connected to a client

initPlayerNumber - - represents the player number for the client that will be communicated with by this thread.

Method Detail

restartGame

public void restartGame()

This method restarts a game either after a draw or after a player has won.

Specified by:

restartGame in class GameServer

run

public void run()

This method listens for communications from the client handled by this thread and provides an adequate response such that the game progresses. Note that the server runs the game, the client is just a thin client, so the server always has the true game board and is the only entity that may change it.

Specified by:

run in interface java.lang.Runnable

Overrides:

run in class java.lang.Thread

modifyScore

public void modifyScore()

Compares the winner of the game with the playerNumber. Then modifies the stats of the player

Specified by:

modifyScore in class GameServer

Parameters:

winner - - the player that won the game

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)

This starts execution of the TicTacToeServer application by running the server and listening for connecting clients. When a client does attempt to connect, if there is room in the game, a thread is spawned to communicate with that client

Parameters:

args - - command line arguments, not used in this application
