Concurrent Networks - Hangman Game
-
In a team of three two other students we were to create three different implementations of a Hangman game running over a network.
Version 1 - TCP client/server. Server uses fork() function to split new connections into their own thread. Client uses select() function to implement I/O multiplexing.
Version 2 - TCP client/server. Server uses select() function to deal with multiple clients, implementing concurrency. Use of data structures retains game state for each individual…In a team of three two other students we were to create three different implementations of a Hangman game running over a network.

Version 3 - UDP client and server, implement a connectionless service while maintaining concurrency and unique game state for each individual player.Other creators -
