If you are a fan of Backgammon, Game Client is a great software for you. Backgammon is the only game available with this platform. However, Game Client offers some great features that make it a great choice. It allows you to chat with other players and request or accept invites to play a game.
One of the most important features of Game Client is that it communicates with a game server that accepts connections from the Game Client. The platform manages and distributes the player list to each client. This ensures that you always have a pool of potential players to choose from.
When you invite a player to play a game, you become the host of the game. This means that your computer becomes a server by using a ServerSocket. The other player will connect to your computer with a Socket object. It's important to note that you will need to configure your computer to listen to a port in order to host the game. You can set the ports from 49152 to 65535. Ports 52144 and 52154 are the default primary and secondary ports.
However, if you are invited to a game, it is not necessary for any port to be open because you are not hosting the game. This makes it much more convenient for players who are not tech-savvy or who don't want to go through the hassle of setting up their computer to host a game. Overall, Game Client is a reliable and user-friendly platform for Backgammon players.
