My Shelfie Board Game is the final test of "Software Engineering", course of "Computer Science Engineering" held at Politecnico di Milano (2022/2023).
My Shelfie is a board game developed and published by Cranio Creations Srl. The graphic contents of this project attributable to the board editorial product are used with the prior approval of Cranio Creations Srl for educational purposes only. The distribution, copying or reproduction of the contents and images in any form outside the project is prohibited, as is the redistribution and publication of the contents and images for purposes other than the aforementioned. Furthermore, the commercial use of these contents is prohibited.
This project is a digital implementation in Java of My Shelfie board game made by Cranio Games.
In this game you will have to sort various objects that are on the board by placing them in your library. You will have to try to complete the formation you have been assigned but at the same time you will have to complete the two goals!
The program is developed using the Model-View-Controller design pattern. Several UML diagrams are provided to clarify the structure and dynamics of the code.
A game instance is made up of a single server and multiple clients, which connect to it.
The implemented functionalities are:
- Basic and Complete Rules.
- Socket and RMI Connection.
- CLI: command line game interface.
- GUI: graphical game interface realized using JavaFX.
- Persistence: games are saved automatically and can be resumed.
- Disconnection resiliance: players can disconnect and reconnect to the server.
The game can be run with the jar file named FILE.jar, in the /jar directory after building the project with Maven.
This file holds both the Server, the CLI and the GUI applications, one of which can be selected when booting.
Before running the file, open from command line the EnableAnsiCmd.bat file to install colors for the CLI.
To run the jar file, use the command java -jar FILE.jar from the command line in the jar's folder.
Once the game begins, a save.txt file will appear in the same folder that contains the jar. This file will contain the game saving.
If the server crashes during a match, the players will have to connect to the server again using the same nicknames they used before and selecting the same number of players. If these conditions are met, the server will look into the save.txt file and load the previous game.
The machine running the server must be reachable from the clients in order to play the game. To start the server, select the 0 option when booting.
By default, when launching this command, the server starts to listen for incoming messages.
Once launched, the server will print the events' log on the standard output.
The CLI and GUI versions of the client can be run by selecting the 0 and 1 options when booting respectively.
