Prerequisites

• Linux socket API
• online TCP server (Use NGROK because this code is based on ngrok)

Compile

compile the server side code on your computer you want to host and play , remember the host also plays, you can just only download server.c and compile gcc server.c -o server

and run server

./server remember the default port is 8080 , i have hardcoded it in my program , i might make it more dynamic but currently it is what it is now open another terminal in host machine and run

ngrok tcp 8080

now we will get output like this

ngrok                                                                                          (Ctrl+C to quit)

now copy the ngrok port

now In Player 2 computer

compile the clientn.c

gcc clientn.c -o client

and run the client code

./client <ngrokport> now you will be connected to host computer and both can play
