C4-Protocol is the protocol for the Connect4 game of the IN3 group. In this repository you will find the protocol description document and also Java files with constants and a reference implementation of the protocol.

If you use Maven for your project you can simply add the protocol to your dependencies

<groupId>nl.woutertimmermans.connect4</groupId>
<artifactId>c4-protocol</artifactId>
<version>0.2</version>

Simply download the java files containing the constants from this repositor and include it in your java code.

The reference protocol implementation puts a remote procedure call wrapper around the String protocol. Instead of generating and parsing Strings in your client and server handlers you simply call a method of an local object. It's almost as if there is no network connection.
