Introduction

Martial Dao is a peer-to-peer brawler game I developed as a project for a Computer Networks course. It utilizes PyGame, pickle, and websocket libraries to create a multiplayer gaming experience over UDP.

Features

• Multiplayer brawler game
• Local server-client architecture
• Custom sprites and music

Technologies Used

• Programming Language: Python
• Libraries: PyGame, pickle, websocket
• Networking Protocol: UDP

Installation

To set up the game locally, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/marwandr/martialdao.git
   cd martialdao
   

2. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install pygame websocket-client pyfiglet
   

Usage

To start playing, simply run the client. Within the client you can choose whether you want to host the server or join a game.

python3 client.py

Use the game interface to control your character and battle against other players.

Known Issues

• The game currently only works locally and does not support different IP addresses, due to some bugs while retrieving the IP address.
• Server recovery does not work properly after disconnection.
