Create a turn-based multiplayer game in C. Upload your workspace in a ZIP file named <9-digit ID#>_mp2.zip (e.g. 201212345_mp2.zip). The ZIP file will contain the following elements used to implement the system described below

• Client C files
• Server C files
• Common C files (if any)
• Header files (if any)

Specifications are as follows:

• Run the server, indicate the max of players (minimum of 2)
• The server will wait for the specified number of users to connect before the game starts
• Client provides their ID before connecting (alphanumeric string, no spaces)
• Broadcast to all connected players who recently joined
• Start game when all slots have been filled
• Game Mechanics:
  • Each round, the player can perform the following:
    • a player id = attack specified player
    • b = block
    • c = charge
  • All active players should make their move for the round to end
  • Player can only attack after charging
    • can store one charge only
  • Player can only block one attack
    • if multiple players attack while blocking, player gets total damage - 1
  • Player can take 3 damages
• Server broadcasts to all player the moves of every player AFTER every round so other players do not know
• Server broadcasts to all player the status of each player (charged, hits left, out of the game)

Hint/Suggestions:

• This is essentially a TCP socket chat system
  • start with point to point connection/communication
  • then expand to point to multi-point (client to server, server to clients)
• Server will need to broadcast commands/states to clients to indicate that the game has started/ended
• You can implement the system without forking (turn based so send/receive has a fixed sequence)
  • forking would be useful if you plan to implement a time-out
• Put all user input validation on the client side to simplify server processing
