The 24 Game

[Home]

 

The 24 Game presented here is a multi-user version of a classical 24 Game, where the task is to form an expression with given four numbers, arithmetic operators, and/or brackets. Players compete through a LAN or Internet.

The interest thing of this implementation lies in that the program does not call any network related functions, while the network communication among clients and the server is done via a shared file.

It is programmed using TurboC under DOS enviroment. The bin file is ready to run on a Windows/DOS system.

bin: Game24.zip
source code available upon request.

Usage:

  1. Prepare a shared folder where every clients (including the server) have full access to it.
  2. Copy SERVER.EXE and 24.EXE to the shared folder.
  3. Run the server with the shared folder being its working directory.
  4. Run the clients at their individual computers with the shared folder being its working directory.

(The server and clients communicate via a 24.SWP file)
