Rock-Paper-Scissors

This project is a multithreaded server-client application built in Java for the Rock-Paper-Scissors game. The server is responsible for accepting multiple client connections, handling communication between them, and managing the game state. The client can interact with the server to play the game.

Project Overview

The Rock-Paper-Scissors game server provides a platform where multiple users can play the game against each other. It features:

• Client-server communication over TCP sockets.
• Multithreaded handling of multiple users.
• Logging of server and client activities.
• Proper management of client connections.

Features

• Multithreaded server: Each client is handled in a separate thread, allowing multiple concurrent connections.
• Game logic: The server contains the rules for the game and determines the winner.
• Logging: Server and client activity are logged for debugging and monitoring purposes.
• Client Interaction: Clients can send messages to the server and receive responses to play the game.
• Connection Management: The server monitors and handles new client connections.

Technologies Used

• Java: The core language for server and client implementation.
• TCP/IP: For communication between server and client.
• Multithreading: To handle multiple clients simultaneously.
• Logging: For monitoring and debugging server activity.
