TANK GAME

Implemented as the final project for Advanced C# .NET Course.

Multiplayer 2D free-for-all PVP game written in C# consisting of a dedicated server program and a client application. Player controls a tank with the sole objective of destroying other players, there is not time limit and unlimited ammo, on death the player is respawned at random location.

I chose this topic to demonstrate my knowledge of asynchronous, multithreaded, task-based programming and networking in C#, as well as practice with OpenGL.

Technologies and concepts used:

• OpenTK library for graphics,
• TCP/UDP asynchronous communication,
• Server-side physic distributed using Command pattern to clients,
• Client-side prediction for smooth movement.
• Artificial latency and packet loss to demonstrate the above locally.
• Multiple assemblies, shared engine.

Quickstart

1. Open the solution file TankGame.sln in Visual Studio (tested 2017,2019).
2. Compile it, all compiled files are put in bin/ folder.
3. Start bin/{Release,Debug}/Server/Server.exe
4. Start bin/{Release,Debug}/Server/Client.exe
5. Enter the IP address of the computer at which the server is running - 127.0.0.1 if started locally.
6. Enjoy the game.

##Controls

• WASD for moving,
• left mouse button to shoot,
• TAB to see the score.

Artificial latency and packet loss

• Tweak the constants in Server/ClientsManager.class:31,34 class.
• Player1 sees Player0 with a delay.
• Both see only some bullets that were fired since some "firing" packets got lost.

The code should be sufficiently documented in English but the full documentation(dokumentace/main.pdf) is only in Czech.
