About the Game

The goal is to implement a game with two independent agents – the “players” – communicating with each other using an interface. When a player starts, a random whole number is generated and sent to the other player, which indicates the start of the game. The receiving player must now add one of { -1, 0, 1 } to get a number that is divisible by 3 and then divide it. The resulting number is then sent back to the original sender. The same rules apply until one of the players reaches the number 1 after division, which ends the game.

Game implementation

Created a Spring boot application which can run for in 2 modes for each player.

• Player 1 is the game initiator and runs on port 8080 and sends the first number to player
• Player 2 runs on port 8081 waits for the input number and when received, divides the number by 3 and sends it to player 1
• If either of the player receives 3, then the GAME is WON by that player.
• The player who won will send the WON status to the oponent player.

This application exposes endpoints for message passing between players

POST -  /gameof3/{inputNumber}
POST - /status/{playerName}/WON

How to build

• Run the sh build.sh which runs mvn clean install

How to start the game

• Run sh startPaly.sh
• The logs for each each player will be generated in ./player1 and ./player2

How to stop the game

• Run sh killAllPlayers.sh

Improvements to be worked upon.

• The application does not gets ended after the game is won.
