description

Two board games played online against other people. Room and game events travel over a TCP protocol built for it, a Flask API handles accounts, and the client is Tkinter.

highlights

• Designed the wire protocol carrying room and game events between the server and every connected player.
• Implemented full Monopoly and Chess rules, and the shared state each client has to be kept in step with.
• Built accounts, profile pictures and lifetime statistics behind a Flask API backed by MySQL.
• Implemented a custom dark theme for Tkinter, and designed the entire UI with custom widgets.
