Board Game Framework

This object-oriented programming project is a framework for two-player 8x8 board games. Included games are chess, checkers, and othello. Gameplay is network based (server-client model) and players are matched on the game they wish to play. This was the term-long project for CSE219, Computer Programming III, under Professor Richard McKenna of Stony Brook University.

The plugin portion requires access to the framework code. Either the jar or the java files for the framework will do. The jar file is also a standalone server.

Run the server (Sonic219FwServer).
Run the client (Sonic219PgClient).
Select "localhost" for server selection.
Select "Existing Account". The user name is "sonic" and the password is "pass".
Choose a game.
Repeat steps 2-5 for additional clients. Same gametypes will be matched up and games will automicatically begin.

Known issues:

Adding new user accounts doesn't work. I had an error in one line of code in my rush to get this done by the due date.
The remote server is not active. You can modify the client side code to put your own remote server if you do not wish to use localhost (line 574 in Sonic219PgClient.java).
Win-loss records was not completed.
Various quirks if a player disconnects, nothing major though.
Selecting an invalid server does not close the client thread.
Closing the input window on any set up steps (3-5) is permitted
In checkers, moving multiple steps in the opposite direction does not work
In chess, winning the game requires killing the king.
