-S4-Network-Bomberman-Game

A Bomberman network game made in Golang and SDL2 library binding for Golang by veandco for a university course about Networking. Contains client & servor.

This project aims at learning a new langage & uses the network over a game Client & a Servor following a protocol.

If you are a french speaker, I invite you to check the Report of this project & the protocol I used for more details.

If you are not a french speaker, you can still check the code comments.

Note: You can find an other implementation of this game in C++ by a classmate here.

Prerequisites

• SDL2 library binding for Golang by veandco
• Go tools
• Delete dashes (-) in the directory project title manualy or get the project with:
  • git clone https://github.com/3t13nn3/-S4-Network-Bomberman-Game.git
  • mv ./-S4-Network-Bomberman-Game _S4_Network_Bomberman_Game

Note that the project won't compile if there are some dashes in the title project folder.

How to use - Linux Project

Compilation

Compile the program with make.

Utilisation

Lauch the binary as ./bomber.

Menu

On the menu, move over modes with Up & Down Arrows keys and select one of them with the Enter key.

There are 2 modes into the menu:

• Create, to host the servor
• Join, to rejoin a game hosted by someone else on the same network

Next, depending on which mode you have chosen, you will have to inquire the IP servor adresse, the servor port, and then your nickname.

Lobby

Afterwards, you will be in the lobby room. You can chat with everyone who is in the lobby by writting your messages and press the Enter key to send them.

Here are some useful commands in the lobby:

• /nbplayer to get the number of player in the lobby
• /start to start a game (you must be minimum 2 players & only if you are the host)
• /start debug to start a game in debug mode (you can lauch the game in solo & only if you are the host)

You can select maps which are stored here by using Left and Right Arrows.

Rules

The main goal is to be the last survivor in the game. For that, you can kill other opponents by dropping bombs. If an opponent is in the explosion, he dies. Furthermore, you can break some walls to go find adversaries.

We can notice that if a non exploded bomb is in the field of an explosion, it will explode as well

Same with bonus, if a bonus is in an explosion, it will disappear.

At least, there are some bonus:

• Speed bonus which makes you gain speed
• Pow bonus which makes you gain a unit on your explosion extent
• Bomb bonus which enlarges your bomb reserve of 1

Gameplay

Once in the game, you will recognize your character by you nickname above his head. Then the game starts after the countdown.

Here are game inputs:

• Arrows keys to move
• Space key to drop a bomb
• R key to end the game and return to the lobby (only if you are the host)

Clean files

Clean object files and binary by make clean.
