Multiplayer Stone, Paper, Scissors

A multiplayer Stone, Paper, Scissors game built with Python and WebSockets, playable via the command line across different devices and locations using IPv6.

How to Run

1. Install Requirements:

   • Ensure you have Python 3.7+ installed.
   • Install the websockets library: pip install websockets

2. Start the Server:

   • Run the server on a machine with IPv6 support: python3 server.py
   • Note the displayed IPv6 address and port (e.g., ws://[2001:db8::1]:8765).

3. Run Clients:

   • On the same or different devices, open terminals and run: python3 client.py
   • Follow the prompts:
     • Enter a username.
     • Input the server’s IPv6 address and port.
     • Choose create to host a room (get a token) or join to connect with a token.

4. Play:

   • Two players can join a room using the same token.
   • Play 3 rounds by entering R (Stone), P (Paper), or S (Scissors).

Notes

• IPv6 Support: Ensure your network provides global IPv6 addresses for internet play. For local testing, use ::1 (IPv6 localhost).
• Firewall: Allow port 8765 (or your chosen port) in your firewall settings.
• Code: Built with official Python libraries (websockets, asyncio, socket)—no third-party dependencies.

Example

• Server: ws://[2001:db8::1]:8765
• Client 1: Creates a room, shares token.
• Client 2: Joins with the token, game starts!
