Description:
Our project is a 2 player online air-hockey game. Server can handle multiple games simultaneously.
On the server side, one thread is created for every match dynamically,
which in turn creates multiple threads for moving the puck, watching for collisions, communicating with players.
Data races were dealt with Reentrant locks on position and velocity variables. We used immutable objects to keep XY coordinates thread-safe.
