December 2013

In a networking course I took this past quarter, the class was assigned a quarter long project where we were required to build a client and server to handle playing the Warlords and Scumbags card game (aka Presidents and Assholes) over a network. We developed the protocol for communication between clients and servers as a class, and then did the rest of the project individually.

The main focus of the project was on the client and server implementation, but I also built a simple text-based user interface:

From this project, I gained experience with:

• Python
• Client-server model
• Git
• Sockets
• Threading
• Unit testing
• Protocol development
• Text-based UI’s using the Python curses module
